Are you just putting an HID kit into your headlight housing without a projector? HID bulbs are not designed for reflector housings. It is often frowned upon because the dispersed light can be a nuisance to oncoming traffic. You need a projector made for HID to house the HID bulb for correct light refraction. You'll need a bi-xenon projector for the HID to function as low and high beam.

I suggest you putting everything back to stock for the blizzard so you can drive without worrying. When the weather improves, you can work on your car again.
I see what you are saying regarding the projector. Thank you.

As for the blizzard, one of my lights was dead which is why I needed to change it. I suppose one light is better than none.

Yes, the kit I got was supposed to be High and Low, it has 2 bulbs. Could I post a link for everyone to see it or is that not allowed?
