Re: How to do an HID retrofit

I know this is an older thread and a good write up but... I didn't see anywhere (maybe I missed it) that covers what to do about the low beam light in the H4 (9003) When the high beams are turned on, the low beams go out and the low beam power is needed for the H1 Bi-Xenon to be lit. I'm trying to ...
