they have them for high beams... but for the typical application of when you use them.. as well as how often....

most people don't... and also suggest against it.

btw.. mobileHID FTW!

yep it was a dumb question.

they make HIDs for all different bulb sizes.

ie.

i have 6000k bulbs for my 9006 low beams,
i have 6000k bulbs for my 9005 high beams,
i have Custom Yellow bulbs for my H3 fogs.

all HIDs all bright.

oh and best price for them is 3bspec.com pm Operatic and he will take care of you 130 shipped overnight!!

I got a set of 6Ks from mobileHID. I only have them for my low beams. Don't need to have them for your highs really. I. 6K is about as high as I'd go. They're almost completly white with just a hint of blue in them. Cops aren't fans of Blue or Violet HIDs.

Also. Make sure you get a relay kit. Many will say that its unnecessary but its better to be safe then sorry. MobileHID includes a relay kit with the HIDs. I can't comment on Operatic since I've never dealt with him but I hear many good things. Not sure if he includes a relay kit or not.

MobileHID is having a special that ends tonight. 140 Bucks shipped (mine took 3 days from Arizona).

Here are some pics of my kit:



Camera couldn't pick up the color exact. They're a tiny bit bluer then that. I tried a different setting on the camera and that picked up:

Which is way too much blue for what it really is.

I have the MobileHID 6K kit. Not sure how the high beams thing would work since i only have the low beams. I believe you would need another kit tho with another ballast. Not 100% tho.
