    Correct …or put HID in the high beams as well…..They are not used much at night but they do allow the blue hairs to see you in the daytime!!!!!

    FWIW, I have 2 problems with using HID's for hi-beams. First, HID's take several seconds to come up to full brightness. As a result, trying to "flash" your hi-beams is pretty worthless. Second, you have to find areas to mount your ballast blocks so if you have HID's for both lo and hi-beams, that's double the trouble.

    Agreed. I didn't like the idea mounting double the blocks. Installing LEDs in the Hi's is easy enough and will work for me. Thanks for the input.
