HID Quesion, real quick! Help :)

Hey guys, a customer of mine wants a hid kit for her 03 g35. I have installed hid kits on many other cars with some flickering because of the factory ecu. Now im wondering if i use single low beam hid bulbs will that eliminate her high beams? Are her bulbs low/high all in one bulb? Also if i install them will i get any flickering? PLease let me know guys i searched all over this forum and couldn't get my answer besides "glare issue"

highs are halogens
lows are hids

thats for the coupe if she has one, so all you have to do is swap out bulbs

Glare. Ever drive in front of those people who appear to be high-beaming you all the time (even though they're not)? That's really the glare you get from putting HID's in non-HID housings.

They don't reflect properly. There is usually more glare. Installing HID retrofit kits into Halogen housings is also technically illegal. The only legal way (and proper way) to do it is to buy 04+ HID housings and swap the entire OEM unit over
