projection head lights
Why do a lot of these projection lights have 2 differents spots for bulbs (1 for the low and 1 for the high) when my civic '99, has a dual filament bulb for lows and highs?

The open one (you can see the bulb) is the high beam and the projector bulb is the low beam.

RE: projection head lights
well no splicing needed.....
some wiring alittle depending on the wiring that comes with it.... the projectors i bought for my 94 has a total PLUG IN PLAY.... plugs right into the stock wire harness....
and for my 99s HID bulbs i did i had to use some SPADE terminals slide into the stock harness for them to work. BUT no cutting needed.... very simple....

RE: projection head lights
For the HID bulbs did you buy 2 sets than? 1 for the high and 1 for the low, because I know some kinds (like the ones onzium sells) have a a regular halogen one built into the HID bulb and one set uses and electromagnet to move it.
The reason I was asking is my dad is going to give me a set in a couple of months.

RE: projection head lights
ditto, the HIDs are sooo much brighter than the regular lows AND highs.
Both my "high" beams are actually burned out anyway, apparently. As a demonstration to a friend the other night I switched to my high beams and I only have the parking lights. That was scary. I checked the bulbs to sees that both were out. I'm not going to replace them either because, well, I never use 'em!!
