HID - High beam

Has anyone any experience with the HID Highbeam from 1OffMS. Is the "flash" and highbeam instantaneous, or is there a slight delay. I'm going HID, but not sure if I should do the Low or HI-Low. Question to 1OffMS never answered...

You really can not flash HID bulbs, as in flash to pass no matter who makes them.

If you need to flash keep the OEM high beam set up and replace the low beams with HID.

On my 800ST I had the 1Off low beam kit installed and it was great; easy to install and good performance.

I will be installing the low beam kit on my RT (once the credit card cools down a little) but will not be doing the high beams, for two reasons:

1. The aforementioned inability to flash an HID properly

2. I like to have redundancy of systems when ever available. Keeping the high beam as a separate incandecent light source will provide a backup if the HID ballast system fails.

If I want to have a brighter/longer high beam, I'll install a set of proper driving lights.
