jtmarine02 Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 To any memeber who has any input from experience or hear say, whats the difference between HID ballast for Hi/Lo beam bulbs? I mean can I use the same ballast, I know that the High bulbs are 9005 and the lo bulbs are 9006, but is there a difference other than that when dealing with HID's? I was looking at buying 2 sets of the slim digital 35W HID kits, one for the highs and one for the low beams, but ive heard that I might need bi-xenon ballast for the high's?????? Any input is appreciated! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I have hid in all four and I didn't need any special ballast for the hi-beams, I think that as long as you order the right bulb size you won't have any problems, oh and by the way I paid 40 dollars for the hids on ebay, when I bought them my friend told me that they were not going to last since they were the "cheap" ones but I've had them for almost 2 years and no problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulguy Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 I've installed a crap load of hid's. The digital 'slim' ballasts seem to hold up real well, i haven't replaced one yet. They are defiantly better then the old fat analog ones. i picked up my last set for $55 shipped on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
