Just wondering If it were posible to hook up some bi-xenon HID's to the low beam of the parras? So when the highs are on, all 4 bulbs are on high beam, and then for low beam, just the low beam xenon's can be on...Is this possible? Im guessing some rewiring would have to be done?
Or even using bi-xenon in both lights on both sides so you have 4 low beams and 4 high beam bulbs on?
EDIT: Also would it be possible to fit these (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310157944487#description) to the parabolic headights?

the outer beams can be retrofitted to HID as low beams, and the inners as high beams... but how often are you gonna use the high beams.... id just fit some colour matched halogens if it were me

As I live in the hills, I actually use my high beams alot but still they could give out more light.. Im just wondering if I could use all 4 beams as high's/lows to get double the light output?

Not really,as you run a single filament H7 in the lows and a single filament H1 in the highs,the best you can hope for is to have 4x globes on when on high beam,as per factory,but as the low beam reflector is made for a low beam pattern,this is all you will get from it,if you had h4`s as the main driving bulbs,this would be normal and exactly what u want.And i dont usually recommend going hid for high beams as they take a few seconds to warm up and get to the correct kelvins (colour)and can be a bugger waiting for them to get fully powered up if you dont do long secluded highways stints etc (doesnt relate to bi xenon h4s as they only move the shield to get different beam patterns and the globe is already lit)
oh,its not possible to have 2 "arcs" burning in one hid globe wether its bi xenon or not,simply due to the fact as i explained earlier that they can only have one arc to jump, they move the shield in relation to the arc to get the hi/low in one bulb,they do not have two filaments like a halogen globes does
