not entirely sure on the dip/main question, but i'd personally be wary if your getting them at that price...

You can get dim/dip ones, I had some, loved them and sold them to Adam. I paid about £78 for mine when I got them new from a similar ebay supplier. The ones picured in your ebay link are not the ones they're describing.

That ebay link is just a dipped beam kit, so main beam stays with normal halogen element.

Bi-Xenon kits are what you want for dipped and main beam

he sells EXACTLY the same stuff as ebay sell, but for about 4 times the cost, with a load of old sales BS as to why its better to buy from the UK than the far east etc blah blah blah.

Diane-shop has been supplying folks with HIDs for a year or two now and are top notch. The price has steadely been dropping (note the postage costs ;) yes its wrong but ebay dont care anymore as its still cash for them on bulk sales lol) they were £40 when I got mine 12 months ago and now they are about £30ish... no probs there imho

Yep, got my high beams from Diane-shop, via ebay.au - conversion rate at the time worked out the best value. Paid £38 delivered. Only thing I don't like about those is they don't include a battery harness, which my low beams do have.

I wouldn't be keen on having HIDs on a H4 bulb tbh; I'm never keen on the rotating shield, and do bi-xenon ones turn off the HID element when you go to high beam? I'm tempted to stick some decent lamps into my quad light panel and run HIDs in that.

[edit] And LMFAO @ the "dedicated staff" pic in that listing lol

Instructions in those kits are pretty lame btw, I just re-used my original set of instructions which were English instead of Chinglish lol

When you go to main beam a solenoid just changes the position of the hid glass chamber thing to change the beam position.
