antigravity is an unknown quantity at this point

Many of the retrofits I do use bixenon projectors as 90s high beam reflectors leave a lot to be desired when paired with single xenons. You can wire it very simply like the above example where the halogen high beam supplements the bixenon high beam. The solenoid only needs to be grounded and have a +12v trigger to actuate so you can wire it a number of ways, the easiest being to splice it into and add a separate connector to the halogen high beam +12v. You can also use a wire splitter to plug into the factory harness and give you 2 plugs from the one 9006 connector. You can also adapt a "bixenon" relay harness designed to use with h4 systems to work.
Are the JDM high beams bulbs 9006? I can't seem to find the bulb type for the JDM high beam housing...again, thanks in advance.
