I used Eagleye's from Midnight Moose ('http://www.midnightmoose.com')
Got confused, figured it out, then found the instructions in English WITH picrures. I felt like a dumbass. But that's ok.

MY HEADLIGHTS LOOK BETTER THAN YOURS :hhg: :hhg:

Where did you find that kit? I'd say that is probably worth it, but usually with HID kits like that, it will only be one beam pattern. So you will lose your ability to switch to "high" beams. And what is reportly happening to others who go with this kit, is that they continuously get "flashed" by oncoming cars to dim their lights, since the HIDs are so bright. Personally, I'm waiting for an affordable Hi/Lo beam HID conversion kit. There are a couple of "dual" beam HID conversions kit already out, but they are still a bit too pricey for me. I rather spend that kind of money on a bodykit before a lighting system.

Yeah, you guys gotta becareful with generic brands like that....Alot of them just breaks in the first few months of use......

Although reputable brand names like Phillips, Hella......etc are more expensive, they are definitely more reliable....

yea, thats how they've always been. your stock headlights are like that. but some HID like bgr's are only low. with the dual beam HID H4's i believe the relector moves to switch from high and low

just to clear up some confusion...

that cover on the mccolloch bulbs (H4) is not for hi/low switching, it's just a cover, and no don't remove it. the H4 is a shelded beam, it needs that front sheild to keep a tight beam pattern in the OE housing.

since the H4 bulb (that's the bulb size) is a dual filament bulb, early HID kits that fit that size were low beam only since there are no dual chamber HID bulbs. so to retain the high beam on conversion, manufacturers came up w/ 3 ways of "adding" the high beam back in. one was a halogen "piggy back" hyper bulb; another was a movable sheild / reflector that changed the beam pattern on high beam activation; and the third was by actually moving the D2(S/R) bulb itself in the housing on high beam activation.

as for just replacing the bulbs, HID bulbs do not have filaments like incandescent bulbs. HID bulbs are basically a gas capsule and the light source is an electrical arc (continuous spark) in a gaseous environment. now to start a spark like that you need a HUGE burst of energy (ignitors) and to keep it from blowing up the bulbs and housings you need to control it (ballasts). so that's why you need a kit and not just the bulbs. if you try to hook up HID bulbs to the normal headlight harness and hit the switch, nothing will happen (no light no nothing).
