Default been looking at lights

So I have been looking at lights for a few days wondering what to get. i thought about just upgradeing the bulbs but my roomate showed me this site. He has a mazda 6 and has these HID's on his car and they just discounted the price. You can choose any size and color. Think They will fit on our's.

Here is the link to what size bulbs we have if anyone was wondering:

You do realize that the HID conversion kit on that web site, is illegal in all 50 states?
Your halogen headlight housings were not designed for HID bulbs.
If you have the time, you should read the "terms and conditions" on their web site.
It's long, detailed and well buried on their site.
Most all web sites that sell HID conversion "Kits" generally state they are "not for use on public roads"
Great price tho.

Yea not too strict in Alabama on headlights. My friend has had them on his car for over 2 years and not one problem from authorities. They have "bigger fish to fry" than headlights. But thanks for the heads up I didnt see that I was just wondering if they would fit. Im sure they would since they have our bulb size.

Question

Do all HID systems have this issue with not having a "brights" setting?

Are there any systems that address this?

The Starr HID headlight projection system is a true Bi-xenon system.
Starr makes the HID for the Hummer H3, I have a set
With out getting too technical, these lights don't get brighter when you switch them to high beam. These lights have an internal metal shield that provides the very sharp cut off of the beam when they are on low beam
When you switch to high beam the shield is flipped down out of the way and you get a full cone shaped light way down the road.
Most if not all bi-xenon work this way
Others use a separate bulb for the high beam
