Personally...... I like the 6000K's. I had 8000K Xetronic HID's in my '06 Dodge 2500 and they were a little too blue for my tastes. 6000K still has a slight blue tint to them and look the best IMO.

I ordered H13 Bi-Xenon 6000K's and H10 6000K's from William this afternoon at about 4:15 or so central time and they STILL shipped today! So far the service looks great. Can't wait to get them in!

Thanks 08FX4

What are the H10's for? Fogs?

No problem. You are correct -- H10's for the fogs.

Any help would be great....
Hey kxpaintball, give me call or PM me. I want to get your radio frequency issue resolved.

I received my HID's from XenonLink yesterday, and just finished installing them. I got the Bi-Xenon H13's and H10 Fogs for my FX4. It'll look great with the all white I have going on. (Yeah I need a new sig pic) William was great to talk to, and shipping was ridiculous fast. Mine actually were sent back to William for an address issue, so he gave me a call and sent them back right away. So they came back and forth and came again in about the time anything else I've ever had shipped came in. I'll definitely be recommending these to my friend for his (up until recently was mine) white Scion Xb.

Oh and when it gets dark I'll be going out and checking the aim. I'm gonna go a little lower than normal to compensate for not blinding people, anyone have issues with this?

Anyone run into a problem with their driver side bi-xenon not switching to high? William sent me a new bulb, I swapped it and still does not switch to high, pass side moves fine but the driver side is a no go. Im gonna try a wire swap and a different ballast to see if its a problem. If it doesnt work ill call William to get sorted out. Other than the bulb issues everything works great.

i have had that problem too. My first bulb pass side didnt move at all and will replaced it. i finally got both bulbs that work, and now my pass side moves freely and my drivers wont go up all the way. The driver side worked fine before.
Check the wiring first, and dont even bother with the ballast, its only used to light up not movement. the movement is done within the bulb and with the wiring harness and small diodes. when i get time ill screw around with mine and see what the problem is.

I seemed to have solved the problem. It was a bad connector harness from ballast to bulb. Everything works fine now, Ill see on my trip to work if it acts up and on my drive home in the morning.

To those who are having issues with the Bi-Xenon bulbs not switching up and down.
First check the wiring and make sure it properly connected.
Second, don't pull on the third wire (the end of this wire is connected to our wire harness not the ballast). The reason is that this third wire is connected to the spring which controls the movement of the bulb. Sometime it will help if you push that wire inwards.
Last, if you still have issues then contact me and I'll arrange for the replacement.

what exactly did you do? mine light up fine so i imagin that the harness is plugged in right, and the only thing i can think of is the headlight plug may have an issue.
Are you still running the small jumpers on the diode end to the bulb position wires (the small wires) i took mine off at first cause they seemed to hinder the movement.

I just had time to check connections today, and everything is connected properly. pass side sometime sticks, then after a bit of having it on high beam it will eventually kick up. I know the bulbs are fine just wondering if its a wiring issue....


Will what exactly makes the bulbs move? do they get a full 12v current to the motors or is it stepped down via the diodes?
I think im going to get my voltage reader and try to figure out why it sticks.

My bulbs worked fine pass side moved up and down driver side stayed staionary. Once I changed the harness it worked. I have to go and look to see if the harness i swapped is different from the one that was originally on. I noticed the one I took off had an extension on the small wire. I guessing the the diode must keep the bulb with getting slammed with power when they turn on. Im gonna check it with my meter as well now that you mention it.

There seem to be some issues with lots of you and the hi-beams. Would you still recommend buying these? I want to purchase a set, but not if the high beams are going to get stuck on bright as I'm passing a hi-po in the median...

What would you guys recommend for an 2004 Heritage(OBS) with L Clear headlights and corners? I'd like a slight blue tint, but thats it

Thanks in advance.

Just a quick question for you guys. I have a 00 f150 and would like to get some HID's in the headlights and fogs. I know I need the 9007's for the headlights but alittle worried about the bi-xenon sets. Are the problems worked out? Also what should I go with for the fogs since the call for a 9145 bulb?

Everything so far has worked out for me. Just a minor bug with the connector harness from ballast to bulb. My bi-xenons now work perfectly. I think no matter who you buy from there will always be issues with something. I happy with the xenonlinks setup price and ease of install. Im not connected in any way with William and not getting anything from plugging his lights. Bottom line its up to you, what you wan to spend and what you like!!
