Default Dual projector headlight question

Will the Helix dual projector light take the heat of both the 9005 and 9006 bulbs on at the same time?
I am using the foglight wiring to feed the highbeam lights so I can run both at the same time.

How do you wire up the dual projector if you want to keep the foglights? Does the kit come with everything? Is there even a kit?

I think what he is talking about is splicing a wire from his foglight harness and running it to his projector lights so he can keep all of them ON at the same time. Both high and low. This is a DIY... would like to see how it turns out to

All I did was put the 9005 bulbs in the foglight wires and put them in the high beam socket on the projectors and taped off the high beam sockets.
My only concern is the heat issue with both bulbs on at the same time.

kzhorse if your talking about the Helix projectors with the 3 LEDs they do run hot as hell. I don't see why you would want to run them both at the same time.

Bad thing is, really I think it's a waste of time and money to mess with the Helix lights. I've had them and they give horrible light output. You would be better off going with the newer dual projector lights from k2motor.com

If you want to see what they look like check out my profile, I have silver stars in them and the light output is better than stock, and IMHO they look better too.
