Default Stock headlights with Hids?

So i have my Hids in my two piece headlight, i was wondering what people did for their high beams. if they just left there stock bulbs or replaced them to make it look better with the hids, if so what.

And i was really wondering for those who have reflectors not projectors if they left th little flute part in the low beams or removed it.

Negative, I have reflectors in low beams, high beams, and even in the integrated fog lights.

I don't have 200$ to blow on headlights, and then another 100 on lower fogs.

Unless someone gets me a deal, im just gonna stick with these for awhile.

I have my original 1 piece factory projectors sitting in the shed. I am in the process of moving to FL and would love to sell you these, $100 bucks plus $10 for shipping?

I can take photos tomorrow morning.

^ really good deal. it's worth getting projectors and you won't really need fogs
properly installed hid's in projectors > lows + fogs in stock two piece lights

Then you don't have the money for HIDs.

You do realize you are endangering every other driver that you pass correct?
