Can I use a Bi-Xenon HID kit on my '91 Integra LS

Just as the title says. If I can, can any of you suggest a good BI-Xenon Kit?

I do have projector headlights. They can take HID's and currently have my stock halogen bulbs installed. I want a bi-xenon kit, but I'm not sure if my integra has 2 bulbs for low and high beams, or one bulb which would mean I could install a Bi-Xenon HID kit.

There is no bi-xenon kit. Bi-xenon works in the projector not the bulb. You can use a hid pnp (plug and play) kit in it but your headlamps are not meant for that kind of lightning being that they are not even projectors. Do some research on hid's in halogen reflector lamps.

I have projector headlights i bought aftermarket ones. I wanted to know if I could buy a Bi-Xenon kit so I dont have to buy 4 kits, 2 for low beam and 2 for high beams.

The kits aren't what cause it. The projector is bi-xenon, when you turn your highs on with those type of projectors the shield moves which takes away the projectors' cutoff, creating a high beam. The projectors in your car, if they have seperate bulbs for highs and lows, do not have the ability to move the shield to create the high beam of light.

Let me explain to you how the bi-xenon headlamps work. Theyre single projector setups. The projector itself has a solenoid which moves the shield out of the way of the bulb to let all light through the projector when you initiate the high beam. There is NO bi-xenon kit im aware of for aftermarket hid. Ill conceed that im very unaware of whats available on the market but my understanding of a projector leads me to assume there isnt a bi-xenon setup out there.

Now you say you have projectors. Good, thats a start. All you can do is slap in some pnp hid kit. At least youre not throwing them in reflector headlamps but its only one step better.

Im not gonna sit there and try to decipher the applications of the ebay ad info to resolve the question of it being used. You cannot operate in a bi xenon fashion without a bi xenon projector.

Alright, So last and final question because my obvious inexperience in the subject is annoying you with your much better knowledge on HID kits. and that wasn't sarcasm. im 100% serious. A lot of this is giberish to me. My projector headlights:

Sorry about the ebay link. That's just where I bought them.
They have an H3 Bulb for the low beam and an H1 bulb for the high beams. Does this mean I would need to buy 2 HID kits (one h3 and one h1 kit) total in order to have a full HID conversion? Again my apologies for my inexperience and likely stupid question.

Bulb types, yes
So you will need four ballasts
Two h1 bulbs
Two h3 bulbs

We have been there and learned, stupid questions are just a way to learn.

lol You cant annoy me. I would just ignore the thread. Was just saying that im not going to look through it to try and figure out where it might fit what you were suggesting because i started to do it. Decided its a waste of time. Honestly dont bother with high beam hid's.

Before I did my retro I went with ddmtuning.com and bought their kits, they are cheap and shipping takes forever but worth it to me, never had a problem with the year I had them in, and were in use every night. You can start with just low beams then high beams later if you hardly use them. Honestly I never touched my highs in most situations. And now I never do

Wow so replacing your lows really made that much of a difference?

55w 8000k was all I needed, it was better then stock halogen but nothing compared to my lights now. I think in my build thread I have a picture of 8000k bulb in one light and 6000k in the other to show the color difference
