Ok, i have a little Nissan Pulsar n12, 1985 make, (not sure if everyone would know what shape that is, i am from Oz) i have bought a HID kit for it, the problem is, i know that the car uses h4 globes for the low beams, and it also has a seperate globe and reflector for the high beam lights, but i noticed that when i put the high beams on - the low beam lights also get brighter, so the problem is, do i need to get the HID kit that has the halogen high beam globe attached on the same globe as the new xenon system, or do i just get the xenon system that has only the single xenon globe?

I am sorry, i really hope this made sense....

I have h4 hi/low beam HIDs on my car but as far as I know there are actually 3 type of installations that can be used. 

1.  Just getting 1 HID bulb on each headlight and get power when the low beam triggers it. (no High beam)

2. Getting an HID bulb that has a small bulb next to it that is not an HID but powers up the bulb in hi beam and shuts off HID in high.  Small bulb is off during low beam and HID is on during low beam.

3.  An HID bulb that has a motor connected to it that has a reflector built on it.  It moves out when in high and moves in when in low beam.  This is the one I have in my car.  It gives you a High beam and low beam look.

I prefer the 3rd.

I would recommend a single filament if you never use your high beams or a bi-xenon
