Here are a list of the HID bulb types available.
There are the different types of HID bulbs...
One HID bulb per headlight - no Hi beams, just Lo beams
One HID bulb and one halogen bulb per headlight - Lo beam is the HID bulb, Hi beam is the halogen bulb.
HID bulb with the solenoid - one HID bulb that mechanically moves up & down to give you Hi & Lo beams.
2 HID bulbs per socket - separate HID bulb for Hi & Lo beams.
#1 - Is good for foglights - who doesn't want Hi beams?
#2 - Doesn't buy you much, your Lo beams will be great... Hi beams not so good, just like they are now.
#3 - These are the most common bulbs in current HID upgrade kits.
# 4 - The ultimate in HID upgrade kits. More expensive because everything is doubled - bulbs, ballasts and add a rely kit. Harder to install because you now have to find a place to mount 4 ballasts instead of two.
