    I jsut installed a set of DDM H4 kit and h10 fog kit. They all work great with the exception of the high beam. When I switch on the high the light is really dim and not even close to the low beam. I am wondering if I should try taking off the metal shield on the bulb?

    Anyone have the same issue or have a good suggestion?

    I just had an issue with my high beams, but mine was a blown fuse.... check the wiring again.....

    do your HID bulbs have a separate light on them for the high? or is it bi-xenon all in one bulb?

    DO NOT take off the metal housing on the bulb!!! You will blind the hell out of other drivers and get pulled over for sure.:eek: I remember someone telling me that when I put in my HID's but I wanted to see for myself anyways and took the housing off. Yeah..I drove like 50 feet and was like, screw that!!! Went straight back to my garage and put the pieces back on.
