Yea, very nice job! I still tell people about the 22.5 hours of daylight the wife and I enjoyed there a couple of years back on a visit in June. Hard to get your head around that same amount of dusk/dark in the middle of winter.....	VMaxChuck NOW ONLINE Expert Max Posts: 864 Thank you received: 241

So if I have already installed an HID bulb in the factory light do I not just need to order the projector and an H4 bulb as all the wires will connect to the H4 and projector? Thanks,	VMAX000003 OFFLINE Fresh Max Posts: 24 Thank you received: 8

I think that will allow the main light to come on but dont think you will have the service of the solenoid controlled high beam with out the 5 wire harness if memory serves , But as a kit it's not that expensive and the high beam is worth it believe me you could land a plane with this set up.

Phil that looks fantastic nice addition to a really nice truck sux you dont have any
darkness to checkit out .

Thanks, You would think so, but sadly no. More than likely your HID bulb won't fit the projector and like the capt said and your high beam will not work. Just buy the kit and get it done properly.

So the HID H4 bulb (high low) that I have in my bike is different than the H4 bulb that comes with this projector kit? Wouldn't that make it not an H4 bulb?

I think what you are saying is that the H4 bulb in my bike has a high/low solinoid inside the bulb that flicks but this projector kit has that external flicker on the solinoid? Does that external flicker actually move the bulb up and down?

Again, I wonder why this would still be called an H4 bulb.

Thanks,

Craig
