So the 4" mustang fogs fit easily or was that another one of your amazing mods? And more importantly where did you get the bulbs?

So im having a weird issue with my fog's and bi-xenon HID's. When my fog lights are on and high beams are off I still get the high beam light in my heads up display and it is partially lit up on the instrument cluster. Also the light in the HUD doesn't always stay on. Any idea why this is happening or what i could do about it?

Now what about other HID kits from VVME, I have the projector headlights from spyder, and I bought HID kits from VVME, 9005 and an H1 kit. Do I still have to do any kind of wiring upgrade?

They look incredible, but the only thing is when I installed them I had to turn the plug around from the High bulb to the ballast because the light wasnt coming on at all, but once i did that the high's came on, but they take about a full minute to get their full brightness. does that have something to do with not getting enough power to them??

They only do this when the highs have not been on, so if i used the high beams for 20 minutes or anytime, then switch to lows for 5 minutes, then switch back to highs they wont be slow to turn on.

Thanks for any help guys

Where did you get the headlights from? And for how much?

another thing with my HID's lol Ive noticed when they turn they are very bright. like the perfect brightness but then after bout 30 seconds they automatically dim? any suggestions on whats going on. Also the wires are all stock up to the HID's

Hey I was just wondering for the people that bought HID's from VVME.com or use HID's for their High beams. Does it seem like it takes maybe a minute once you click to your high beams for them to brighten up. I have the VVME HID kits in my lows and fogs, and they are great, but the high beams just seam to take a while to brighten up., let me know what you guys think

[BackInBlack]

Do you have twin-tube HIDs for your headlights, or the VVME retracting 9007-3 bulbs? The retracting kit should have no delay at all.

[GOINDEF]

I have the projector headlights, I think its a 9005-1 HID kit, but its not the retracting tube, or the twin tube just the regular HID Ballast

[BackInBlack]

Your BEST bet would be to use HID bulbs in the low beam projectors and good WHITE halogen bulb in the highs. IMO, based on what I think works best, and what most auto manufacturers do.

[GOINDEF]

thanks, kinda sucks that i wont have all HID's but oh well, at least I'll have some light, whats the best and brightest bulb?

[BackInBlack]

Do you have the new headlights with the separate low and high bulbs or something different?

[02GT4door]

sooooo stick with the single low beam kit or go for the hi/low bi-xenon kit

I drive on desolate roads all alone alot of the time, in a nicely populated deer area so I would like some highs but if it takes a butload of work why deal with it?

Ask the seller if they tilt or retract. If they retract, your high beams will be poor. You can always change out your fog lamps for some good driving lamps. Aim them higher and trigger them with the high beam circuit...
