Sorry for the late post. Item ended. Highs have a completely different filiment than lows. Highs will always be high because the bulb is different. Lows will always be low, even if you hook them to your highs. Different wattage. Sounds like those come with 2 different bulbs so you can make them what you want. Halogen bulb and city driving bulb. Sounds do-able. Just put the halogens on the inside and put the city bulbs on outside.

BTW, I'd get male headlight sockets at autoparts store so you don't cut the ones off your car. Looks like the new lights only have 2 wires sticking out and no spades. Don't cut you cars wire whatever you do!!!!!! You may find these are junk and want to switch back to originals. You could also get the little spade solderless terminals and crimp those on each end of the new lights wires. Those spades should fit in each of the cars socket openings. 2 per socket. I'm sure you all ready know, but you just should never cut the wires if at all possable, they'll rust and just "RIG" up your car.

Re: HEADLIGH QUESTION.. PLEASE HELP ASAP

FYI: those housings are crap!!!!! Notice how the fake "projectors" are mounted horizontally!!! What do you think the vibrations will do to the beam of light as you drive down the road?? Don't waste your money.

BTW: They are designed for the outer set low/hi, not the inner set hi beam only. But in the end it's your car.
