it seems possible but i dont see why you should waste money on it
u will have to buy two sets of HIDs
so u will have 4 bolbs and 4 ballasts for ur low and high

I don't understand the purpose of having HID Hi Beams seeing as they have to burn in, and usually you only use them for a second or two.

+1 Low beam HIDs make the high beam obsolete. More HIDs would be an unnecessary waist of money.

Just do the low beams. The quartz halagen bulbs are H7.
OEM HIDs are D2S. Stay between 4300K and 5000K.

if anything get hid s for your fogs and lows only

dont waste any money on the highs ..pointless... put that money to your turbo set up that you just blew up

I could see the point of waisting money on 10k Hi beams only if you are building a show car. What I've read all stated that 10k was good for only one thing, and thats giving off visual during the day or in a building for a show. Temp does not equal light output. ex - 6k is brighter than 10k. Once you go to a higher burning light it goes from cooler color to no "real life" purpose very quick. Stick with >6500K Lo beams just my 2 cents.

I have the 6000k from Vision Bulbs. (Site Sponser) It's a nice pure white light, with a hint of blue. I'd reccommend.
