Hey, I found this tool the casper shield (wish I knew how to post pics here), to retrofit ds2 bulbs in h4 housing (to see it go to http://www.casperselectronics.com/cgi-local/store/commerce.cgi and search part number 103016). It seems like a great way to go, because you can buy standard ds2 HID bulbs without having to buy ones with special rings from an HID retrofit company. Anyhow, it seems that with this casper shield, there is no way to sneak in another bulb for our hi beam... my question is, how much is the new headlight housing from Honda from the 04 si? If I can't work out a way to keep hi beams, I may jump ship and pay the extra bucks for the new and then add HID.
One idea was to simply mount a second light in the other side of the reflector shield and wire it to the hi beam. The problem is that I think the shield will get VERY hot and would probably kill any halogen mounted on the other side, please corect me if I am wrong! Also, if I had regular plastic coated wires exposed near the shield, would the plastic melt when the HID was on?
Thanks for any advice, I know I ask a lot of questions on the lighting forum, but I'll come clean I am a lighting nut!
