I have a 95 suburban with the 9005/9006 bulbs, and i am wanting to add hids to it. My questions are can i use hids with my conversion that makes all 4 bulbs stay on for high beam, and what kits can i get that have their own power wires to the battery? thanks

you will have to get hid kits for both sets of bulbs but if you get the 55watt kit that should be plenty bright

i have a set of 6000k in both high and low beam, but my high beam conversion wont work, will a heavy duty harness to the battery give it enough power to run them both?

I had this exact same issue on my 02 saturn. I will draw up a, "how to," so that you can make the HIDs work, and keep the low beams on when the high beams are active, and the high beams turn off with the low beams are active. It is pretty simple. It is one relay. I will post the picture of the ,"how to," when i have it finished for you. ------------- If your cousin is such a good installer, and he will install anything for a 6 pack; why are you talking to me?

I drew 4 options. only 2 will be useable for you based on how your car is wired from the factory. The best option will be the relay option. The other option is to use a diod, but with the diode, you will have to find high current (about 20amp) diods, and you still may have current issues. The realy is a better option. I hope this helps.

Good stuff man. Glad it helped. I figured it was most likely the posative switch, most cars are. My saturn is the only one i have ever seen that was a negative switch. Looks good. enjoy blinding the entire road with your high beams.
