Yep agree on Harvey's post, the full beam range is not there.

Ive got my Cibies wired up to my front fog switch and flick them on for full beam
and leave the main headlights on dip all the time now.
That way Ive got width and range now.

Why not wire the Cibies to main beam via a relay, and at the same time, disable the switch from dip to main for your headlights?

Then you can dip/main without having to reach for a switch on the dash.

I tried that, but I couldnt get the damn spotlights to come on with the main beam.
But now there was a post while back on this problem and there a fix for it.

Now Im too lazy to get off my butt to re-wire them.
I will get around to them sometime.

At the moment with it on dip, Ive got a nice wide beam.
But with it full beam without the Cibies on, the light pattern is shocking.
Its like a narrow beam with next to no light to the sides.

So Im happy with the dip beam & Cibie on setup.

To make it clear this is not a kit from Bob5, mine is from HIDS4U
H4 Bi-xenon 55W Pro Max HID Xenon Conversion Kit , its not a cheap priced kit either.

As I stated earlier, not worth the money in my eyes.
I do regret not getting Morrettes now

On two of my cars I have PIAA. One set driving and one set spots and both come on with full beam plus an on/off switch so they can be left off. There is little or no difference in the range of both of these driving/spot. This really does turn night into day. From the cars I have driven with Morrettes I have always been impressed so much so I have a set on my project car, still in build. For the winter and in view of the disappointment referred to here, the blue STi 3 Wagon can get another set of PIAAs and I will order them today. This is a bit of buggeration to fit however as the front number plate has to be relocated.
Interestingly I previously purchased a set of HIDs from HIDS4U. What a shower of shysters. The product was not as advertised. They then changed their documentation and claimed I had made a mistake. Fortunately I had it hard copy, black and white. I contacted Trading Standards, Southampton from memory and I got a full refund in the end.
