HID Lights

I just puchaced a 05 f350 that had a hid light conversion.
They only worked on low beam I thought that they were
Not working properly so I took them out, but now I am
Thinking that's the way that they are.
So my question is do hid's only have one setting?

Unless they are bi-xenon, which is pretty useless anyway, then yes.

I have the bi-xenon and really never use high beans.
The low does a very good job.

I use to have the bi-xenon but took it out and replaced it with just the low beam kit. My truck is lifted so when i would use the high beams it was useless. HID Low beams and stock high beams work fine for me.

Most high low HiD kits are not very good, and the good ones are very expensive! Most likely you just have the low beams with no highs, which IMOP are just as good or better then the high low ones and a lot less money! I have 35w kit lows and they are awesome!!

Go with halogens. If you use HID's with the factory headlight assemblies then you are blinding oncoming traffic whether you realize it or not.
