hid problem. help!

i have a problem with my hid's. i have the h4 which has the hid for its low beam and halogens with its high beams. so i'm wondering if i can change the high beams because whenever i use high beams i have very small visibility coz the bulb does not give much light. is there something i can do to have more visibility with my high beams?

get a bixenon kit with a "flexible" bulb

the ones i sell in canada are great. they have a bulb that moves to give the high beams. ive run the kit in the yaris and in our aveo (which also uses h4's) and theyre great...

hid's with halogen high beams, in my opinion, suck

isn't the yaris lightbulb just a high-low bulb? or does the sedan have a highbeam and a low beam bulb?

i've got a 35w bi-xeon kit and its wonderful to drive at night now
