Default Hid Highbeam...daytime Running

Knowing That The Daytime Running Lights Are The Highbeams Working At Lower Power...would Hid's Fire Under The Same Reduced Power? I Prefer To Not Have Any Halogen Bulbs, Wanting To Switch To All Hid's. Thanks In Advance For The Help.

You sure do know how to waste money! Please, do us all a favor and don't put HIDs in the highbeam. Everyone on ClubLexus will give you a "high5" for not doing so.

What's the point? The reason for DRL are pointless at best (cloudy day, sun glare). If you can't see a car in bright daylight, then you're blind so having flashing lights would not matter...

HIDs for high beams don't make any sense at all, not to mention that you'd be degrading the life of the HIDs fast if you plan to use it frequently to flash other cars and turn them on extensively at nighttime.

The DRL's are ok. If only just so I can leave the switch on AUTO w/o worrying about any weird California headlight laws.
