How are you doing yours....

Because of the shape of the upper (low beam) reflector.....
The only way I can see, is to put bi-zenon in the lower housing.

In that case how would you wire them??
Would you use both upper & lower low beams???

If you run both lows then an new cct would be required;
add a control relay in the low beam cct to enable the new cct.
Then the H beam cct would control the shutter on the Bi-Z..

Any way sorry for the rambling thoughts...
curious how you are planning to do yours.

I'm not good with electronics, but sounds like you would need to tap into the low beam, to have the lower projector light up with the upper HIDs. That's if you want both the upper reflector and lower projector on everytime you turn on the low beams. Then you tap into the high beams for the solenoids.

If you want the upper HID reflector and the lower projector to be independant, meaning that the projector comes on with the fog switch, then you need a diode/relay to allow the "fog" to still be on when the high beam is switched on. Otherwise, the high circuit will flip the solenoid, but the HID bulb will be off in the projector. Because with the stock circuit, you can't have the fog AND the high beam on at the same time.

I ended up buying an H4 HID harness that allows the fog and high to be on at the same time. This will give me fully functional bixenon projectors in the fog section. The harness will draw power directly from the battery, so it'll help protect the stock wiring.
