[QUOTE="RadioHowie, post: 50010, member: 426"] Dear Mr. Warguy, I have been a very good boy this year and hope you are still monitoring this thread. My question is this: is the light barrier on the low-beam only HID capsule removable in 1 piece? It's not obvious from the pictures. The reason I ask is this. I plan on purchasing the low-beam only kit, leaving the right capsule unmodified in the low-beam only mode, modifiying the left capsule for high-beam use and running my FJR in that configuration until God, Santa or my Colombian connection drops the $800 in my lap for a set of FF200 HIDs. At that time, if it is possible from my question above, to re-install the light barrier, reposition the capsule back to low beam mode and have dual-HID low beams while the FF200s serve as high beams. If not, I guess I just have Pedro send another $100 and get a new low beam capsule. One other note. I don't recall if you mentioned it along the way during your testing, but the single low/single high HID configuration has another, possibly overlooked advantage....that is with a single low beam HID, one could aim that beam for optimum effectiveness without affecting the vertical aiming of the high beam HID, which could then be aimed for maximum spread and illumination. Then, with the "always on" low beam, you'd be getting 100% effectiveness from both bulbs in highbeam mode, and 100% effectiveness in low-only mode. Make sense? [/QUOTE]
