High beam, and low beam. Its really up to you to configure the wiring. You can make the inside lights high beam and outside low beam, or vice versa. There is a relay included to separate your high and low beam signal.

Lighting is way better than stock, because during high beam , you don't lose your low beam. The stock H4 switches off the low beam during high beam. This kit maintain both on. Thus you have 4 lights shinning all parts of the road.

I don't get it.

Why bother with an aftermarket pop-up headlight kit when it's used when people can hardly see past the glare to admire the new pop-up headlights.

Also, I did the HID conversion to my stock headlights and removed the metal cone in the headlight housing and it's so bright that I get people in other HID cars flashing me and people covering up their eyes.

Sure some headlight kits might have a better beam for increase forward distance visibility, but the curvature of the stock headlight lenses provides superb peripheral lighting that I have yet to see in an aftermarket headlight kit.

I'm sure the police will like that.

Hmmmm..... let's think about it.

3 years with that and some of the time shining it right in there faces.

Why I don't get pulled over?

I live in a rich part of town where just about every other car has HID.

When HID first came out police felt like a tard pulling rich ***** thinking that they were running bright aftermarket headlights that looked kinda blue.

Human's sense of pride governs most of people's forethoughts.

I think the lighting is really good improvement over stock. If you get the kit, you won't be disappointed.

The_penguin, there is more to headlights than just the bulbs. The reflectors of the stock headlights really aren't that great. I 'd bet you've got lots of 'hot spots' and variations in the brightness of your headlights.

More info: http://faq.auto.light.tripod.com/headlamp-faq.htm

Ideally you should be looking for a projector low beam so you can have a sharp cutoff, which will allow you to illuminate the road ahead without causing glare to oncoming traffic. Pop-ups allow you to mount the lights higher which is a good thing.

The stock headlight pattern does allow some degree of beam cut off with some right-side bias.

It's all in the adjustment of the headlight beam levels.
