There is nothing currently on the market that allows you to have an "HID" high beam. Currently single bulb housings with the H4 bulb (low/high beam all in one) will loose their high beam function with this conversion which is why most manufacturers using HID have a halogen high beams separate. The same is true for those that change out their separate high beam (9006/9007 size type bulbs) for HID. They will have the added benefit of another HID headlamp but the light output would be the same as the HID lamp in their low beam. Because of this, HID is not a good choice for high beams because they take over a minute to heat up or come on full power so you would loose the ability to “flash to pass” or just flick on your high beams for a dark corner. Those vehicles that do NOT have a secondary halogen high beam (like my wife's 04 Nissan Maxima for instance) simply have the angle of the light adjusted by the car upward at the flick of the light stock for greater light coverage. I've heard something is in the works for the single low/high beam user, but nothing is out on the market yet. Hope this helps. Great looking bike Brent!
