The RadioFlyer Bi-xenon have one HID bulb and a shutter moves over for the high beam. The Housings are All ACA replica's. JWM has the housings with HID Low beams and a standard high beam bulb.

Hope that helps. The 35watt ones I believe draw the same as the stock headlights.

 

I should be there again this year. If you can wait that long we'll set you up. Just let me know.

Thanks for everyone that suggested us. Our units are plug n play and include a 12 page installation guide. Full color. Easy

 

thanks for considering us. Contact me direct with any questions.

The original ACA did. The repro's harness for this wasn't built correctly, so we remove that portion and offer our 4 on harness as an option.

We can still get the original ACA with H9 bulbs, but they cost more. Demand isn't there so we don't bother stocking them.

 

I replaced my stock bulbs with HIR bulbs and added Radioflyers Hi-4 Harness so low beams stay on when you go to high beams. The light output is a huge improvement and it allows you to keep the stock housings and look. All for @ $100

 

James this is what I have from JWM. Great product, instructions & support. HUGE diff when night driving!!

 

Well….The short version: ACA was a manufacturer of the headlight lenses that included a true projector unit for the low beam and a reflector lens for the high beam. The low beams utilize an HID bulb effectively with a true focused beam. The high beam uses a standard halogen bulb in a reflector lens. Using an HID bulb in the high beam will be bright but not focus the beam and the light will be scattered. Note that the ACA low and high beam cannot be aimed individually and once the low beams are correctly aimed the high beams will be off. In most cases way to high.
Radioflyer and JWM are vendors here on the forum who both have product offerings based upon modified ACA headlights and their own proprietary units. I will leave it to Radioflyer, JWM and others to extol their own products and features. Radioflyer has also a modified ACA housing with a BiXeon projector (low and high in one projector).
I personally purchased by ACA units off the auction site originally. I then upgraded to a set by Radioflyer with the halo option and the high beam readjusted so that when the low beam is aimed correctly the high beam is not to high and effective, though my lows with the projector lens and HID bulb do not normally require the highs.

 

Thank you!

 

JW does not sell Sh!tty **** Anywhere,,,,Sh!thead from East Texas!

Can't wait to see you and the Mrs. at TMS

 

Correct on the function of our headlights.

The factory draw on the headlights is 55w and in order to maintain proper headlight raise/lower function an HID kit must draw the same amount of power or the buckets will not work correctly.

 

Corvettemods is also like JWM....I have a set and love them, night and day difference over the stock lighting. I no longer fear driving in the dark, and have been doing it daily lately here in the PNW. Lifetime warranty too!

RF's are the top, but too pricey for me. (you get what you pay for though!)

 

Got to have some good lights James, Your car deserves em

 

Left is HIRs in Stock Housings

Right is Completly Stock

 

Im right along w ya, the stock lights gotta GO....before I spend big bucks on HIDs Im gonna try this and see if its what I want for $100+$25 for the "Hi 4" harness that RF sells I cant loose much!

I can not see how even the Lows on HIDs wouldnt blind on coming traffic and have them possibly hit ya head on....(Worst Case)

2nd if they are bright enough to blind on coming traffic, Cops are def gonna pull ya over ASAP
