Hi
Does anyone know if it is possible - and if so what spec do I use - to get a Xenon match high beam on my 04 MCS R53 with Xeonon HID

Only the low beam light is Xenon - when I activate high beam - the Xenon stays on - bit an extra bulb lights up - and this is traditional Halogen - more yellow

Thanks

the R53 is H7 bulb fitment i think, so you would need to get a H7 HID kit and wire it to your high beam. the higher the number, the bluer/purpler the light is, the lower the number the whiter the light

Stock HID (Xenon) color is about 4300K.
Remember, the higher (bluer) you go, the dimmer the overall output and the higher the glare.
