Do you lose the ability for high beams with the HID conversions? If not how would you do it? Would you just put 2 ballast on each headlight to accomodate the high and low beams?

Yes with the 90mm's you would want some regular halogens for your high beams.

I know this is an old post, but I have to replace my headlights, and i'm trying to get as much info as possible.
You said "plug and play", so all you did for these was just open up the stock housing and put in the new HID bulbs?
Im new to all this lighting stuff

Excellent Question KingMetal,
This is what I did first.
1.Went to AutoOptiks and picked up a sealed beam conversion kit
AutoOptike
Some of the members here dont like them, but I sure found no trouble with this kit. Go to the vechicle lookup on the left side of the web page and find out which Kit to use. The kit replaces the sealed beams that are on our cars. Or you can go to this website and inquire about their kits.
2. Went on ebay got the HID's and installed them in about 30min. Thats it.
