High to Low with HID's

blackmax24 · 11-03-2009, 08:33 PM

i just installed hid's for my low beams and when switching from high to low it always seems to take a few seconds to warm the bulb/ get brighter. is there anything i can add on to make this transition faster without the delay??

why do you need brights with HID's??
but i dont think so.. i never turn the hids off so i wouldnt know

no matter what hid's are always gonna take a few seconds to warm up..

however you can do some trick wiring to make you low beams and fog lights stay on when you switch to high beams that will fix you problem..

costs 99 cents and takes all of about ten minutes

well i may have to adjust my head lights up a little bit more, but i dont want to be the guy who blinds eveyone, and i may have to get the fog lights also. after using the hid's the yellow bulbs are awful!

yea I put hids in all my lights and I dont think i have ever turned on my highs when i was driving the fogs and lows are way enough

I say get the relay that lets the lows and fogs stay on when you flip your highs on. Where bouts are you from in NE Wisconsin?
