HID and Projectors

I just ordered a set of 8000k HID's and some chrome projectors.
links: http://www.topgearautosport.com/part...rated_LED.html

I was wondering if anyone could help me out with the high/low beam scenario. the projectors split the high and low and i bought the HIDs for the low and im going to use the stock bulbs for high. how do i get that to function correctly. any help would be appreciated. i will post pics when i get them done.

By looking at the link, it looks like the Project is low beam only, with high beam on the side.
I would suggest going with 6000k instead of 8000k. I work for a company that sells off road truck lights. Cops are looking to pull people over since many cities are looking for $. We have many customers come back and change the bulbs from a higher K rating down to 6000k.

use a diode going from the low beam pin to the high beam pin on the headlight plug. this will keep the low beams activated when you switch to the high beams. its what I did when I made my own headlights.

i will have to look at what the high beam size when they come on tuesday is but the low should be stock. and racer the headlights seperate high and low beams entirely, meaning they each have their own bulb, one for low (HID) and one for high (halogen). i want to know how to wire the high beam bulb into the original single plug that will connect to my HID.

i used a relay to keep my lowbeams on with the highbeams when i had my projectors.

those headlights should use a H1 bulb i'm guessing.

My HID's came in today. i want to test them out in the stock housing but i read the post that the projectors might take an H1? will the 9007 i ordered fit or will i need to return them and get h1's. i want to know before i install because of the return policy on them. also they have a bulb attached to the socket thats a little halogen for brights im guessing.
