Just installed my HIDs in my evo 9, everything went smooth, HIDs work great, no issues, just one question, when i switch to stock high beams, HIDs stay on, is this normal???? any input appreciated, thanks.

 

Yes thats normal, everything is all good man. Enjoy your new lights!

 

Yes, that is normal.

 

really, is there a way around it at all?

 

why?? it would reduce light..

 

true, but hid and a halogen bulb on together makes it look like i couldnt afford the hid high beam or somethn, lol, no but seriously, just curious if anyone had a fix for this but no biggy cause its not like i drive with the high beams on that much

 

I was not a fan of the look of my HID's with the stock high beams as well. I picked up some hella replacement bulbs which both increased the amount of light with my high beams on, as well as being closer to the same white, still not a match but I can deal with it. I tried the Sylvania ones first... I think their definition of ultra white and my definition of ultra white were not the same, they were still quite yellow for me.

If memory serves I got them at pepboys.

 

it can be done with relays, but just put a hid kit in the high beam too then.I rock hid high low and fogs

 

How do you like the HID in the high beams? I was considering doing that but I wonder if the warm up time that HID's have would negate some of the benefits of having them

 

I have 3k HID high beams and they are good for lighting up those really dark roads. They are also good for blinding the crap out of those drivers who like to be jerks on the road. :P

 

honestly the 15 secs of warm up time, is not a problem to me. Once warmed up they come on instant after being turned off. as mentioned above, cut me of sucker or have some dumb rage problem.. face my brights and that will teach them

 

whats the high beam halogen number for evo 9?

 

9005. Just did mine with 6000k.

 

they're meant to work together, enjoy it!

 

so you upgraded your high beams to HIDs but your low-beams are halogens still?
