Default Gs300 Ls430 Retro question on High beams

Whats up guys! So I have a 2000 Gs300 retro i've been working on with Ls430 projectors, already have finished all the low beam work, but decided I wanted to do the High beams as well after seeing this photo:



Oh my... speechless!

So im going to go with the mini H1 projectors for the high beams, love this guys shrouds but im unsure which ones they are, they kind of look like MC-R shrouds but im not certain.

Anyhow question also is, should my high beams be D2S bulbs? Or is that just for my low beams? This has always been a grey area for me is not knowing much about bulbs and what not... is Mini H1 referring to it being a H1 bulb? Should I run halogens for my high beams? And purchase just ordinary Mini H1 bi-xenon projectors? Id like it if they were HID's as well to match with the lows really. As far as the shroud goes if anyone perhaps knows which ones were used in the picture that would be SO helpful! Thank you!

That is correct. The H1 projectors use H1 sized bulbs.

Okay and my low beams being the ls430 requires D2S bulbs right?

And could I use just some white demon eyes as my DLR lights?

Is this kit a good kit to go with for high beams at 4300k?
