You would want a Bi-Xenon set up. I believe the retrofits that aj6 has will work with Bi-Xenons.

I made my comment based off the picture. For a low beam, that shoots pretty high.

I put headlights on my Neon with projector low beams and reflector highs. I intend to put HIDs in the projectors. Love the cutoff. I have put 80 watt bulbs in the reflectors for the high beams. And used a HD relay harness to keep from melting the light switch in the cabin...

Doesn't hurt that they change the look of the car a bit... Now if I could just get something like these for my ZJ...
