98 TL HID mod

Hey, I'm thinking of getting HID lights for my 96 3.2 TL. I was just wondering whether I will still have my high beams after I put the new lights in. Someone told me I would need to buy a bizenon kit for that since 9003 bulbs will not...blah. idk.
Will high beams work if I get HID lights?


oh. and Where can I find the light clips that hold the bulbs in place? Previous owner of the car seem to have lost them.

Thanks.

If you get a bi-xenon H4 hid kit they should still work, but a standard H4 hid kit will only operate on low beam.

An H4-2, H4-3, or H4-4 setup will let you keep your high beams(or some semblance of), as long as you have the relay's wiring harness installed properly. On our cars, the lows shut off even when we don't have the highs locked on, so if you just do a plug and play, here's what's going to happen when you flick your high beams:

H4-2: HID lows off, halogen highs on.
H4-3: All lights off.
H4-4: You can't even install this one without the harness. Well kinda, but it'd be the same result as H4-3.

~Cheers~

P.S. H4-1 is just a low beam, with no bulb or anything for the highs.

Like states above if you get a bi-xenon H4 kit then the highs should work. To find the clips you are better off just going to a salvage yard and taking them off another first gen.

I'm a noob when it comes to lighting.
I'm still a little confused with the H4-2, H4-3 and H4-4 setup.


For the clips, junkyard will be my solution.

Thanks.
