2. The high beam becomes obsolete with those bi-xenon optics, and so is the socket/hole for the bulb. It is safe to remove the bulb... the back sealed cover is sufficient to prevent dusts to enter the headlight assembly. The high beam connector's 12v is what triggers the bi-xenon solenoid cutoff plate!

3. You do not have to buy additional wires. Those are all included in the kit. They just don't show up on the rendering you've posted above (got lazy doing CAD cabling loll).


Shipping all 26 kits along with a few center caps this coming week!! Crazy I know (twenty-six kits).

Busy this weekend re-machining the small adapters that house the HID bulb in the back of the projector :/ I guess that's what happen when you get new machine-tools and German controllers. Those were initially threaded with a 1.25mm thread while the optic takes a 1mm thread. Crazy mistake... luckily those are quite easy to remake but regardless I have to throw out 180+ parts in the bin.
Thanks for the info Fred, this is going to be a winter project for me. It will give me some time to think about the paint!
