How to install AAC HID Bi-Xenon headlight on a non-RS Camaro – No Halos

[wylde1]

Hey guys I have a dumb question about this HID kit.

Did you have to put a ballast in for each light? or can you run 2 lights off one ballast?

Does this setup operate basically like a dual filament halogen? 1 bulb, 2 settings?

I'm doing my homework for another type of headlight conversion. I'm going to do the BMW lights like on the trans am conversion. I got a smokin' deal on some headlights but they're the halogen setup from BMW. I want my setup to work a little differently than BMW intended though. Each light has 2 bulbs, a high and low and the high is off unless being used. I am going to put dual filaments in both so both are on for low and both can kick on for high. (going for the quad headlight look) Doing this on a halogen setup is easy, but I want to do it with HIDs.

SO... what I need is an HID bulb that can do a high and low setting in a single bulb. which it appears that this kit does, correct?

Yes, each bulb has a ballast. I had to zip tie up two of them.

I don't know what to tell you on your setup but I will say that from my understanding it's not a High/Low beam (one on - one off) type system. It's supposed to be 1 light and when you turn on the High Beam it changes the angle of light reflection not a second light or the light's wattage or anything. The same bulb stays on all the time.

Aha, I see. I will have to mabye give BF or ACC a call to see if these are designed with the lense focal point specifically in mind. i know on projector lights it's just a single bulb that either changes position or the lense changes size. So I was trying to get my head around HOW this single HID bulb changes brightness in a halogen lense.

I am going to get my conversion finished up on Halogen bulbs though, and then I'll worry about how to convert them to HID's.

.... the projects never end haha

if i were you i would disconnect it from the battery and put it to the fuse..

Just thought I would post this thread for those looking at doing the HID install and want some 6000k fog lights as well. I don't have these on my car yet but they sure look like they match much better than the ones I have.
