since it's a dual filament buld, is the second ballast to ignite the high beams? never seen an HID kit with that type of high beam set up.

Hmm, weird. Wonder why they refer to it as "dual filament" if it's HID. Does it have 2 "arc chambers" per bulb?

you know now that i think about it i guess that is why. i guess the whole bulb has two different arcs inside it to make two different beams. my bixenon kit just has a little motor that moves the bulb to change beams.

oh mine are the 8000k bixenon kit from www.xenonlink.com , i would say they are pretty good, fairly simple plug and play install and if you have any problems they are more than welcome to help.
