why would u want HID for highbeam? You'll rarely use high beam anyways.

A lot of people have HID for their low beam and fogs though. I know jefftsai had HID for low beam and fogs, but he has a 2nd gen GS though

Basicly for the hell of it, was yours a plug in kit?? also how do the 3000k bulbs compare to the jdm yellow hallogens color wise, im sure they are brighter but is the color similar/better???

Nope, how often do you even use your high beams? Maybe one day when your like 60 they will be worth it, but for now, there is no point unless you are makin a show car. The whole reason for high beams is so that you can turn em on when you need em, and HIDs take a minute to warm up and would be useless by the time they are. Plus, turning off and on HIDs ruins the bulbs.

Abear makes a good point...if you really want get this kit, u should just buy a low beam set for me because GS300 highbeams are better than 80% of cars out there, but unless you live WAY out in the country road or something. Stil pointless IMO

well i only use high beams to flash people at stop signs to go or if u cut me off ... but flashing high beams with an HID KITT... thats gonna kill the life span of the ballast maybe even the bulb!

i just put 8K HID for low beams today on my car, and since I have JDM headlights, I'll do the HB4 conversion on the running light and also HID on the fogs =,D

I got the "HALO" kit from here: http://densetsumotorsports.com/

to notch service. It cost me 300 bucks and it has 1 year warranty.
