Why are you leaning towards the hi/lo? Because you need them of because you like them?
Well, both are good reasons so just get them already!

get the hi/lo kit.. i mean there is no difference with the regular hid and the hi/lo as far as output.. i mean hid's will out perform any halogen headlight system even with the hi-beams.. the only reason i bought the hi/lo is to have the "flash to pass" feature.. meaning i can still give someone a hi-beam to let them know to go or something like that .. doesnt hurt to have them you know

I have just the single beam... but I had a fog light switch installed... the other night it was very rainy and some guy just decides to veer into my lane... I flicked my lights by hitting the hi-beam stick on and off, causing my headlights to flicker at him... it was kinda ghetto, but w/e lmao... I was too cheap to buy the HI/LO ones, and then it woulda been harder to install them. Yes, as you can see I am lazy LOL
