If you get the H4 it will fit. H4 single beam will lose your high beam capabilities. H4 dual beam is the way to go.
for a cheaper dual beam go http://ultrabrightlights.ispeedway.c...35&NID=2838334

H4 Dual beams will give you a halogen bulb you can hook up for high beam, the bulb is not really meant for driving light but more if you just want to flash between the two...to get usable high beams you will have to go bixenon which has a single xenon bulb and a servo that changes the bulb angle for the highs...my next step!

Kind of like the Kaixen http://www.kaixenkits.com/community.htm
it is a bi-xenon one bulb with a door which is the same as I linked above. The McCulloch kit dual beam was explained to me by ultrabrightlights.com staff to have a small door that opens when the highbeams are switched on. Although ultrabrightlights.com don't show many pictures of the kit, Kaixen looks more trustworthy, but it can all be a marketing scheme.
I like the change of angle though, it sounds like it's accurately positioned inside the reflector bowl when in low beam for a nice cutoff.
I'm interested, do you have a picture of the bi-xenon bulbs you're talking about 365Motorwerks?

Yeah but the picture sucks and I only get these from F1Spec as I need them so I don't have one on hand, most people are more interested in the price and gloss over the loosing the high beam...I'll get a good shot next time I go by the warehouse which will probably be to pick up my set!

The BiXenon has a full glare guard which is going to give you the best it can. As in all kits the guards help but the headlight housing is what is going to give you the pattern, I am happy with the half shield on my current setup this should be better but I'll give pictures out when I get them in my xB. The xA will be different as our housings are shaped differently however. PM'd price.

philip for quality.
far out man, 365Motorwerks post cutoff line images when you get a chance, cutoff line is the only thing I care about.

it's all good in the hood. as long as it's H4 it should be pretty close.
