Ok guys,Looking for some help! There is a guy on the Pro-touring forum with a T-Type that has a H4 headlight conversion and is using just his outer bulb for both low and High beam.Looking to do the same on my 442 but can't seemto find any conversions that say high and low beam. I PM'd him but he bought his used and don't know who made the kit or would sell them. ANY info would help. Thanks Jake.
 
Look for a bi xenon bulb. I use them plus another set of hid for the hi beams. Don't waste your money on those "55" watt kits out there. They use a 35 watt bulb and it scatters the beam . I think only Philips have the 55 watt bulb and they go for lots of $$$$$$
 
From what I've gathered you have to run a projector type lens to keep them from scattering the beam? So are you running your high and low beam in the same housing? from what it sounds you still have all four lenses correct?

This is the look I'm going for!

 
There are no quality projector beams out there and if it's a true 55 watt system there would be no need to run a projector beam. Plus the 55 watt ballast heats up the 35 bulb too much. I run 4 Hella conversion lenses and they have a nice pattern beam. The two outside are 4300 bi xenon bulbs (hi/lo hid) and two 6000 hid for the high beams The way the bi exnon bulb works is when you hit the hi beams the shield on the bottom of the lite pulls back to expose an opening allow the lite hit the bottom of the lens. The hid lite itself does not get brighter
