Ummmmmm no. They are HID's and they are bright as hell. They are set on low beams, however they are still bright. Just like as if a car had them. As far as riding with them on the street..... I personally have always ridden with my high beams on with every bike.

How waterproof are these anyways? Little too late for me to answer that question, haha but I might make up some kind of enclosure out of sheetmetal or something...

So when you switch from hi to low beam on the quad the amount of light stays the same?  Thats kinda lame IMO.

They do not come on in high beam mode...But they're real freaking bright so that's ok...Can always put in some fog lights or something and run the high beam mode to that.

E,
 I kinda think so too, but a jumper can be put by the plug so that they will stay on with either high or low beam. The light itself is only a single bulb.

Yeah basically there's no filament, it's just a tube of xenon gas that gets ignited (on a "true" HID kit).

I've heard of some dual mode HIDs but they tend to be pricey and complicated...

Go baja style and mount HID fogs on the handlebars

I was looking at lighting kits for motorcycles & noticed there kit uses One Driving lens and one Long Range lenshttp://www.kchilites.com/store/5-HID-Motorcycle-Systembr-9615-Black-P454C94.aspx

You guys think theres a noticeable advantage having one flood beam & one driving light?

I just want a brighter light that works in the stock light housing that still has a high and low setting.  But not for 1k.   :lol:

What about modifying the stock housing to allow for both bulbs inside? So high would be HID's and low would be the other bulb? I run my lights on high all the time so I wont have an issue w/ this.

I think that would be quite a bit of heat for the housing to have to endure though...My lenses are usually pretty warm after they've been on for a while.
