Ive read before that HIDs aren't viable high beams because they take too long to ignite and heat up (truth to this)? What are the alternatives if I want to do a 2008 retrofit for low beam HIDs on my 07 but dont want the crappy yellow stock light? Is there an aftermarket bulb that's more white with any more output? or ARE there HID bulbs fast enough for high beams (as a flash even)
HID's in the high beams are ok if you dont use your high beams a lot to flash people. The bulbs take time to warm up and you wont be able to flash the bulbs. If you use the high beams mostly for flashing, go with a set of HIR's. Nice, crisp, clean looking color bulb/light output.
Now if you travel on pitch black roads a lot and use your high beams to make your pitch black travels easier, then HID's are a suitable option.

I did look into HIR before (and did again) that might be a nice option since I'm not really looking forward to getting 2008 lamps + bumper just for an HID kit.
