HID's

[Guest aecarbon]

I got an order in on some HIds there in the site if anyone is interested.

Question for you about these. Do you know if the headlights will retract after they are shut off? I know some people have had this problem with them and had to turn on the highbeams to get them down. I have read some on this in the Corvette Forum and they seem to have a fix for this with another ballast. I would love to do this but need the information about the retraction before I buy.

Thanks.

FWIW... I have HID's and the lights don't retract without flicking the high beams. I have also read that you can wire in a resistor to trigger the retraction of the lights, but I haven't found it to be a problem. It just became second nature to flick the high beams as I rotated the switch. My problem is that I have a Laptrax, and if I turn the lights on, the initial voltage drop is signifigant enough that it triggers the Laptrax to reset. Being that my car is a 2000, I can't get into competition mode if the car is moving, so I have to live with either the TC on or off until I stop if I turn the lights on while driving.

I will say though, that whatever hassle there may be, the additional light is TOTALLY worth it. I haven't used my high beams since installing as the HID's throw more light than the high beams. I have the fogs too!!! Worth it all the way. Love 'em. Don't wanna be without 'em. Don't know how I made it through the night before I had 'em. You can take my house, my money, please take my wife, but leave the HID's.
