You gotta spend the extra $'s and get the hi & lo kit (4 ballasts).

No.

Cost is $25 extra total of $95 for the Bi-Xenon High/Low kit. It's 2 bulbs, 2 ballasts.

This is the 9007 High/Low kit, the harness to the right is the high/low relay switch with wiring.

I'm about to pull the trigger on this myself, but I'm concerned about making the upside-down Hi/Low (bi-xenon) rightside-up.
Can you please tell me again how you switch the pins to make it function properly....if they ship it 'backwards?'

It's much easier to describe if you were actually looking at the plug. I could walk you through it over the phone if you wanted.

Does the fogs use the same kit?

For the fogs you would need a single beam ballast with an H1 bulb. Modification to the fog light housing will probably be needed, not sure what exactly since I haven't ventured that route yet.

Which kit are you using for your foglights (driving lights, I know I know).
I'd been looking for a plug in kit, but ended up putting high dollar Hella halogen projectors in for now...which I LOVE, but would love to swap the halogen bulbs for an HID set up.
 
It's just a H1 bulb HID kit and probably the same color temp as the headlights which look like 6000k or maybe 8000k.
 
Ctrlraven, have you had any issues with this kit now that you have had it for a few months?

I ordered a set for my buddy, but he only needed a single kit, it was extremely easy to install, literally plug and play.

So I'm about ready to order 2 kits for the MM and a kit for my Ninja, but in your honest opinion is it worth the extra cash and hassle(wiring) to go with the bi hi/lo kit? I saw on their website it will depend on the headlamp housing of different cars how much more the bi kit will illuminate when brights on. Do you visually see it illuminate higher?

I went the Bi-Xeon route. Yes, IMHO, it is worth the extra $$'s and time to install the 2 extra ballasts. Mine work just like the stock lights. You can see farther down the road, in fact, the Hi beams look like they will burn a hole in the car in front of me if I got too close. :eek:
 
I'll always get a Bi-xenon kit if my vehicle requires it.

Bi-Xenon kits do not require an extra ballast, a kit for our car should only have one for each side and the correct bulb which has the built in actuator for low/high movement.
 
thats weird, I bought a Kit from retro solutions, todd is great he gives life time warrenties on both bulbs and ballests plus he carries 55watt kit's his 9007 bixeon kit is all plug and play just plug it in to the factory harness mount the 2 ballests your done. his 9007 bulbs physically move in and out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrR1ozc1LA0&feature=related it's hard on the bulb to shut it of and on all the time, like every time a car passes you, it wont be long before your bulb quit's, also he has variable ballests where you can turn up or down the brightnes via a nobb inside the car, so you dont blind others my 55watt bixeon kit was 160 shipped to canada shipping in the states is free i believe. plus I guess his kit's are digital so when they ignite it uses verry little power which I do believe because they do power up differently then other brands i've seen. http://www.retrosolutionsllc.com/servlet/StoreFront

also i'll give you a warning about the color of the kit's, if you do alot of night driving, and your buying an HID kit for the brightness and not for looks, dont go any warmer then 5000K at first I had 6000K's installed but I sent those back, driving in the country for more then an hour my head was splitting and my eyes got real strained, the most un natural color is Blue and thats the color your eye's cant see sh*it in the wave legnth scatters really bad thats why blue hid light's blind you soo much, it's not that there brighter (infact their dimmer) it's that the light scatters all over the place when it should be directed on the road, right now i'm running 4300K which is a dream to drive at night. I can drive for hours and hours and not have my eye's strain also 4300K is the brightest hid bulb you can get, the lumans are about 500 higher then 8000K, and it still look's bluish compared to factory halogen.
