Hi. I drive a 2004 Civic. It uses HB4 bulbs for low beam and HB3 for high. Im thinking of installing HID but only on the high beam, since I use my high beam often when I drive on dark roads with no other cars around. But in normal streets, I'm satisfied with my halogen low beam.

Would you recommend this? I think HID on high beam would cause glare as the light would spread all around, but I think even the halogen high beam would cause glare too. I normally only use my high beam when I drive on dark empty roads. But I'll leave my low beam on halogen. This way I wouldnt have to worry about glaring other drivers.

Would there be a big difference in brightness? My high beam currently uses the stock 80w bulb. I plan to install the 4300k HID. And would heat be a problem? My headlight lens is plastic and I dont want it to darken like other cars.

Thanks!
