Default Question about projector/high beams....

Question: What would be the cons of running the high beams on the projectors all the time? As you know the projectors are kind of crappy, so they aim-not any more! so would it cause any damage to run the high beams all the damn time (during the night)? I was going with a blue luminics bulb which would have the same output as the original projector high beam. Thanks

How much money are you willing to spend to make these right? I found a set of quality projectors that should be a direct swap into the housings...for $120 ($145 with generic H1 HID bulbs...but you need to buy the ballasts and harness if you don't already have HID). They're designed for fog lights, but so are the shitty ones we have. We'll never fit (w/o considerable modification) a 3" setup from BMW/Acura/etc, so we gotta use 2.5" units.

If I ever "find" some extra cash, these are going in my headlights...





They're bi-xenon, so I would need to figure out how to wire the shield so that it flips out of the way when I turn on the highs...but I could ignore that and use my OE highs, too.
