Default Pilot H13 HIDs

I have been wanting some HIDs and I found a deal on these.

First is are they high and low beam, second I know they splice in which isnt a big deal as long as there arent any major wiring harness modifcations. Also they should just slip right into the back of my exsisting headlights no problem, just gotta turn them in.

I know some around here have them, are they what you wanted them to be, Were they quality light and balasts.

Any imput is great I just trying to make sure I get this right before I pull the trigger cause I have learned it best to do your homework over and over again.

Please don't put HID bulbs in your stock housing... do it right. Retro fit some projectors into the stock housing. You'll be happy with the result... as will all opposing traffic.

I've had HIDs for 3 years now, in 2 different vehicles. I always make sure to go back and re-aim them. They're bright enough! I just installed them into my new 2011 and it's driving me insane that I haven't re-aligned them yet. I feel for the few people that have passed me But I will fix it soon. When I get a mad sick ride, I'll put in those projectors if they don't come stock ;p

http://www.pilothid.com/h13hihidcoki.html

Here is a link. I am assuming I just need to reaim my lights down and away form the other lane. I not really got the money or the want to invest in HID projectors second I really dont even knwo where to start with them. I have a buddy who runs them in his 03 Termi and never seems to have a problem. I have see other vehicles with with them and the only ones that ever really bother me is a dang truck, which they set high anyways.

So fill me in, I mean I am all ears here. I know some get a little stiff about it but some need to get a little loose

I have these http://www.dhgate.com/55w-h13-bi-xen...fd2451b7a.html It'll save you a few more bucks and i personally know for sure that they work and look amazing. If you want a video I can PM you one. Just let me know. As for not having projectors, it's recommended, and they're SEXY, but you dont have to. Just be the nice guy and make sure you point them down if they're messed up when you install
