Matt Ives Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Hi, I'm new here and I've been doing some here and there mods to my wife's '08 edge. I put an HID kit for the low beams and I love the pure white 6000k (originally had 5000k and they were very weak). Anyways, I don't know if I want to put another HID kit on for the hi beams because they aren't used that much (if at all now due to the bright lows) and I don't want to spend an arm and a leg on them. I want as close to 6000k like the lows as possible and with a long lifespan. Any ideas? I found these but am skeptical. http://m.ebay.com/itm/281624454263?nav=SEARCH Same goes for fog lights. Thanks!

J0J0 Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 I don't know if I would go the route of HID's in the high beams. If I were in your shoes, I would upgrade the driving lights (if equipped with your edge) to HID's. You would use those more often than your high beams.

Matt Ives Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 I already did the driving/low beams with HIDs. Just wondering what brought to take with hi's and fog lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipworkz Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 The common issue I have seen people talk about with an HID high beam application is the warm up time. A lot of the time when you want or need high beams, you want or need them now so the warm up time doesn't work to well with high beams. This isn't a problem with the 2011+ since there is only one bulb and a shutter system for the high beams. If your primary use is driving a long distance in the middle of nowhere with your high beams on then the warm up time won't be as big of an issue. It is all based on how you will be using them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Ives Posted March 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 That's why I'm looking at something other then HIDs for hi beams. Was wondering what would suffice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
