HIDs versus OEM headlights

[Steve-O]

I can say with 100% honesty, that I haven't been flashed ONCE since installing and adjusting properly.

its nice to get flashed every once in a while

I agree.

That may just be the kit they used and swaped to a 9008/H13 bulb , or they have adapters in the box. Just a guess .

Must be!

Considering Mardi Gras ended on tuesday and I live a block from Bourbon St.... I have had my fill for the year.

HID's are probably one of the easiest mods to install. I've installed kits on multiple Titans and on my Dad's Lexus GS350.

However, I've never installed them on a dual beam lamp like on the Raptors...I was always under the impression that the bulb had 2 separate filaments inside: one for low beam and one for high beam. Are y'all saying that the bulb actually "moves" inside the housing to go from low beam to high beam?

Last Mardi Gras I went to Billy Crystal was King Bacchus. Good times. Good times.

Yup. The old ones used little gears and servo motors to move. The newer ones use an electromagnet are more reliable.
