So, did you use a harness relay so that when you used high beam, there would be no start up delay?

Well, spending a little more for better quality relay harness might be in the works? But, you're not in total darkness since the low and high come on. However, seeing a deer down the road could make a hugh reaction time difference!

i bought a HID H4 Hi/lo kit and I needed to know if the halogen portion of the bulb needs to be set as the Hi. When i connect it, it shines a yellow color and seems less bright than the 6000K HID which is setup as the lo beam, so i am not sure if it needs to be designated as Hi beam or Lo Beam. Is it better for me to upgrade to a Bi-xenon configuration ?

LOL!!!! don't even get me started on that!!!!

i have hit:
a turkey (did $800 worth of damage to my nissan frontier and kept flying!!!)
a red fox (also in the frontier. cute lil' guy didn't make it)
a black bear (again in my frontier. i clipped him and a lady in a minivan full of kids took him out)

surprisingly enough i have yet to hit a deer given the fact that the area i live in is infested with them!

LOL!! OMG! And now you have a beautiful GX470! Proceed cautiously, my friend. I don't want to hear that you've added a deer to your list of roadkills. Time to invest in a grill guard!

+1000000 to the service of HIDextra. Karen took care of me well beyond what I have ever received from Xenondepot. (not to badmouth but just as a comparison).

Would never hesitate to recommend and will always be a repeat customer for any HID needs.

That's great to hear your HIDs are still working!

so to set things straight, the HIDs do give better output than the halogens regardless of the pictures of them on my garage door. btw, they are 5000k
Ha ha I get it. I got the same problem.
The camera is exposing less due to the high output....damn these cameras

Just installed the kit in the lx470. It's supposed to be 5000K. But i think it looks too blue, or is it just me? Could it be because they're too low?
