You ordered aftermarket BALLASTS, our aftermarket ballasts are Greddy so yes you will be getting Greddy ballasts. Greddy does not make HIDs, they make HID ballasts. The high/low feature has nothing to do with the ballasts. All of our kits are bi-xenon which is a part of the projector and wiring harness.

Ok so in plain English I will have a high and low beam? I was looking at the Greddy HID kit online and it looked like the balast and igniter where seperate. I have a set of Helios in my car right now where the ballasts and igniters are sperate. Is that how the greddy are. I just want HI/LO beam to work like it does stock. I believe for that to happen you need 3 wires to plug onto the factory harness?

For these intents and purposes, bi-xenon means high and low beams operate just like stock. Just implies that we're getting HID lighting for both the high and the low beam unlike some kits. Correct me if I'm wrong Scrub.

I didn't know we were getting Greddy ballasts as the aftermarket unit. Nice to see that at least it's a big name behind it.

Yeah the bi-xenon function is handled by a solenoid and shield in the projector itself, and is activated with the harness that plugs into the projectors (not pictured... maybe a few pages back its pictured). The shield flips down for high-beams for full light dispersion, and has the shield up for low beams (creating the cutoff).

Yeah the ballasts (greddy) are quite nice, and have a small form factor allowing them to be mounted IN the headlight bucket to make the install clean.

update time:

It looks like we should be able to source the remaining headlight housings to complete the GB. As of right now I do not have a time frame for their arrival. The remaining lights have been ordered and paid for, we just want to have the lights in hand before saying "problem solved"

Also, I'd like to apologize for the delay in the other kits we've been working on. It seems these kits take much longer to assemble then we anticipated, but rest assured we are working on them and making progress. We appreciate your patience. It looks like we will not make the Christmas deadline but we are working as quickly as possible to have them completed soon.

I'm stoked to get these suckers mounted and operational . I've seen Dan's setup in person and it's leaps and bounds above reflector HIDs wrt length/width of beam, clarity of sight, and sharpness of cutoff.

It's literally in the first post in this thread. The GB has also been finalized and is currently closed.

Update:
We are moving along with over half the headlights done... but I'm waiting to pack/ship the current ones as I have had issues with one of the connectors on the wiring harness (the connector that supplies the signal to the high beam solenoid). The other connectors on the harness are nice weatherpack connectors but the high beam solenoid connector is cheap, not waterproof, and I have had intermittent poor connections with a few of them. Dan and I talked about it and decided that it would be best to replace this connector with weatherpack connectors so there are no issues later caused by a crappy connector, or problems with moisture/water. The connectors are on the way. Again sorry about the extended delays....
