Difference in HID kits
I'm wondering the difference between the Bi-xenon Radioflyer ACA Projector Headlights and the none Xenon. is the performance on the xenon worth the price increase? And it looks like Corvette Creationz sell the non xenon for 265. Is that kit any good?

To answer your question the Bi-xenon used one bulb for high and low beams, They have a flapper built in them for high and low modes.

I had ACA projectors and then upgraded to Bi-xenon using my existing ACA housing. Used "Toque's how-to" write up for installation. Loved the outcome, lights work great, fun DIY project. That being said, I didn't save any money by doing it myself, could of purchased from Radioflyer for close to same price.

Radioflyer Non bi-xenon:
- Decent optics, excellent output low beam. High beam is lacking significantly.
Radioflyer Bi-xenon:
- Excellent optics (improvement in pattern distance and width over the non-bi-xenon) Bi-xenon high beam mode provides phenomenal high beam power with a pattern far superior to even a dedicated HID bulb in the reflector.
