STRteg - vehicle lighting is NOT about "looking sexy" for Christ's sake. People who think those 10k and higher colors from their headls are "cool" because it "looks cool" are fucking retarded and I want to take a hammer to their headlights everytime I see them. These shitsticks have no clue that blue/pink/purple/violet/magenta lighting absolutely KILLS vision, these colors DO NOT reflect back well and end up making things harder to see while hurting oncoming driver's vision.
I really wish there would be some laws to crack down on people using that retarded crap in their cars.
You can tell me until you are blue in the face that "putting HIDs in reflectors is just fine", but I will contest it based on being blinded/seeing it first hand. Yes, manufacturers can design a reflectory housing and HID combo that works better, but it still scatters light...like the Maximas and Acuras with this type headlight. I can always tell these cars in traffic because their lights are significantly brighter then HID/projector and halogen/reflector setups. Every aftermarket HID kit put into reflector housings that I have see ALWAYS have tons of light scatter.
Dynamicsound- like you really care what people do with these kits. You get your money and obviously you're going to butter up and say everything is fine..you're not going to risk sales and say that it's a bad idea....

on topic-
Let me also clarify that my car has OEM projectors, not some retrofit kit. I have 5k bulbs in there and the lighting is fine...perfect cutoff and no scatter. Also, my lows do stay on when the highs are activated and yes, I do know that they take a moment to 'warm up'...but I use my highs for visability...I have a horn to take care of stupid people at close range.
My highs are 9005, so I guess the only way to know if it will work is to suck up and spend the $60 or so bucks on some cheap kit.
