Still working on how to wire it to a separate switch. They also point down a bit but I'm not sure to how to raise them.

wow this is so tempting to do a quad xenon setup. great tutorial! didn't know how easy it was.

how do the new xenons wire into the headlight? do they have their own ballasts/ignitors or does it use the stock bi-xenon's?

This was done on OEM AL headlights. They have their own ballast, but I'm not done with the wiring as I said. I need to install a wire harness and find a trigger wire so I can run them separately with a switch inside of the cabin, that will allow me to run both lows with fogs at once.
