New HID lights

I have a 1990 f150 and am planning on getting an HID conversion kit. Will I be able to keep my high and low beams using the same one HID bulb or will there only be one setting?

Assuming you only use one bulb right now, yea can keep your highs and lows if you get a bi-xenon kit. It uses a motor/solenoid to move the bulb to a different position when you want your highs.

yea i have the Bi-Xenon (hi/lo) and where i live we HAVE to have High beam to pass inspection. and if you have only 1 bulb, yea in order to keep the hi/lo beam, you will need a Bi-Xenon. they are a bit more expensive, but i had to to pass inspection. i have 8000k on my 99 F-150

Bi-Xenon kits are pretty neat.... since they use a solenoid to change the direction of the light output, the intensity never changes...... so, when you go back to low-beams, it stays just as bright, but moves lower.

i love my 6000k's !

6000K is more white than blue
8000K is more blue than white

the above two are the most common and recommend. Once you go 10K and above you'll have the blue and purple look (looks nice) but you'll get poor brightness on the road.

Call me if you have more questions 866-857-0005 ask for William.

Yes, that's correct. I can give you additional discount if you buy your fogs at the same time. My quotes includes shipping (within USA - 50 States)
