I have been emailed several times recently about the possibilty of using some of the dual output ballasts that are beginning to appear on the market. People see this as a low cost way to get HIDs.

THIS IS A MISTAKE SO LARGE, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO OVERSTATE IT.

Dual output ballasts are only intended to be used in foglights. XtecUSA has had this solution for over one year. The reason that these are not sold to people for headlights is because that the Ballast is actually a 65-70 watt unit with a divided output. There is only one ballast in use at a higher wattage. There are any number of failure modes in the ballasts that will result in both lamps going dark at the same time. If suddenly being in traffic or on a mountain road with no headlights is your idea of fun and safety, we won't be there to help you accomplish this.

If you must save money on HID kits, there are ways to do this. XtecUSA offers a Apexcone (parent company of XtecUSA) branded set of HIDs TODAY at a remarkeable price. There are ways to save money without your retailer putting your life at risk in order to make a buck. We offer dual output ballast solutions for your foglights at a price of $150.00, TODAY. But please do NOT use these for headlights. You're taking your life in your hands.
