I bought my 8000k's from someone on this site...I'm very please with them and haven't had any problems with other drivers or police and they sailed throught MOT last week.

I've got 6500k's and theyre spot on. Will be up for sale shortly!

I'm thinking I may, get some for the Full Beams also.

 

[StanTheMan]

Wont work properly mate due to the 'startup' process. Cossie's have a combined bulb that has a shroud that moves over the buld to change the light from dipped to main.

 

[Forbez]

Eh! I'm sure you can get the Fullbeam fitment bulbs, with Xenon, i'm surry Barry (Aberdeen) had them both.

Dont tell me i have to by a cossie.

 

[StanTheMan]

Dont tell me i have to by a cossie.

Yes, do it now

 

[Forbez]

Yes, do it now

If i thought for one moment that i could keep it on my drive, safely, then i'd be on autotrader, right now.

Maybe when I move home though, I will own one. Just would never get any sleep, due to worry with one parked outside the house.

ive got full beam and dipped beam with xenons works fine so YES you can have both.

 

[Rik N.I.]

Yea with a Bi-Xenon kit you have sidelights and dipped lights, but not full beam. You wont need full beam with xenons anyhow

 

[ganda_cupra]

Bi-xenons are low beam and high beam with a seperate sidelight. And as mentioned Original Equipment Bi-xenons use one bulb with a flap inside that changes from low beam to full beam.

On the ibizas you'd have one set of xenons for the low beam and another set for the main beams. So yep can be done easily just need correct bulb fitment.

I tried the 2x sets of HID method, one for lo one for hi etc. When switching to hi, you'd get the usual pulse then it would take a while to 'warm' up. Looked somewhat silly.

It worked ok like that for a few days, after a week one of the ballasts burnt out.... due to the owner flashing the main beam, let people out of junctions etc.

The ballasts aren't deisgned to be switched on and off rapidly, that is why proper setups adjust the light beam to switch. The ballast is constantly powered.
