Hello all.. i am getting ready next week to bite the bullet and buy my ddm 35 watt 6k hids on my 96 gt and I have found a sweet pair of just regular two piece design projector headlights.. that in my opinion are far less ricey than anything i have looked at before.. So which one do you guys like better? Obviously its just a smoked and non smoked setup.. but the smoked have a chrome ring around the projects where as the non smoked do not..

Option 1- http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MUST...s=Year:1996|Model:Mustang&hash=item1c1cc2bffb

Option 2- http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/94-9...s=Year:1996|Model:Mustang&hash=item3a6937a5d2


Okay, so here comes my question.. These housings convert me from a single low/hi 9007 to a who the hey knows two beam set up.. using a plug and play design that just plugs into my stock plug.. gee, I used plug a lot but hopefully i have not lost you..

So now my hids are using the stock plug.. how do i run my high beams if the stock headlight plug is being used by just my low hid? If there is a way.. hopefully it does not involve running my highs with my lows.. because that can cause heat problems and I would guess wire heat.. which leads to car fires.. lol.. So i really want to just run highs when i flip my switch and run lows only.. Is this possible at all without putting to much strain on my stock wiring? Is there an easier way.. like just cutting the plug and play piece from the aftermarket headlights and wiring the low side up to my hids.. but then my highs will still run with the lows.. right?!

I will stop before i write and book.. and confuse myself by using "plug" 15 more times.. Thanks to anyone who can help my late night confusion..

Okay, can anyone tell me with one pieces headlights.. if they had a lot of trouble getting them aimed and if so.. did you finally get them aimed correctly? I'm ordering tomorrow and need to make my mind up..
