You need the whole kit not just the bulbs. The bulbs are H13's.

correct.... our CamaroHL kit maintains the low and high beam function. Both Xenon light, not a xenon low beam and halogen high beam...

+1

I have AAC but BfXenon has a great product. Both are very simialr. I might have gone with BfXenon if I knew then what I know now.....just saying.


BTW: I have set of 8000k H13 bulbs from AAC for sale. Probably have less than 5 hrs on them. I initiall bought 8000k but they were too blue for me. I then ended up buying another set of 6000k which are perfect IMO. PM if intrestred.

It's the same bulb. There is acually only one bulb.

From what I was told during my research...basically when you go to High Beam it just changes the angle at which the bulb reflects off your housing. You can imagine that in low beam is shines down low and then on high it retracts or sends light upwards to reflect at a higher/wider view. At least that's my understanding of it.

But....I can say there is only one bulb.

That means that the relay and ballast are setup to do the high beam reflection using HID as well as the low beam.

From my understanding if you don't get the Bi-Xenon (vs Xenon) then you'll have HID for lows but Halogen (lot less intense and yellow) for the Highs. In the Bi-Xenon it's HID in both Low and High beam.

I was told that alot of people don't get the Bi-Xenon because the lows are so bright they rarely go to the Highs. That's true for the most part but I have used my Highs a few times. To me....it's only another $30 on the AAC setup and I think it's included in the BfXenon. I would recommend you just to get them....I doubt you'll say that you wish you wouldn't have got them vs saying that you wish you would have.

There are a few types of hid bulbs. There is a cheaper set that is single beam. They are made for cars that run hi and low off different bulbs. So the car would use 4 total bulbs and not 2 total. Then there is a single bulb that adjusts by moving the beam for hi and low. The other option has 2 bulbs built in. As posted above the low beam is hid and the hi beam is a halogen. Here a 2 pics to show you.
