HID Conversion Kits: the Single Beam Options versus the Dual Beam Options
You have already decided what you want to do with your headlights, you want to use one of the many different types of HID conversion kits to convert your current halogen setup into a more efficient HID setup. Now you just want to make the decision as to which HID conversion kit option is best for you, the usually cheaper single beam options, or the usually more expensive dual beam options.
To help make this decision about the HID conversion kits there are several things you need to consider. First, what kind of money can you put into a HID conversion kit. Second, where are you going to drive your car, truck, motorcycle or other vehicles the most after you have installed you HID conversion kit. And finally, what are the most pressing safety issues that surround the area where you will be driving your vehicle after you have the HID conversion kit installed. Considering all of these can help you to make the right decision in what to buy when you are looking at some of the headlight options given with the various HID conversion kits.
OK, so the first thing we said was the kind of money you can spend. Since the Hid conversion kits, like the HID xenon conversion kit or the McCulloch conversion kit, are relatively new and better quality than halogen light bulbs they can cost a little money. And since the dual beam option is even more recent than that it can add on to your cost. For these reasons you should have an idea of what you are willing to spend before you even begin to look at these options for your HID conversion kit. Once you have a price limit, that you can not and will not break, in mind you can start looking for the options that will best fit you. If you have an older car that wont last much longer, go cheaper, if you are buying a brand new car, go a bit more expensive.
Next you should consider where it is that you drive the most. If you are constantly driving in a city were it is normally bright at night and the headlights are more of a precaution, then you are less likely to need the dual beam option for your HID conversion kit. However, if you tend to drive in the country were there are lots of wild animals and it can be difficult to see, you will probably want the dual beam option. Also look at weather, if there is constantly fog and/or other bad driving conditions you will want the dual beam option for you HID conversion kit.
Finally, the safety issues at hand. If you are living in one of those areas where there is constantly road kill that just pops up overnight, and the dear jump in front of an unsuspecting driver, you will want the option of both your high and your low beams (the dual beam option), especially in bad weather. If not, well it is always nice to have them so that you can flash them at another car in warning, or if you end up in one of those areas at night.
