Would you put HID for high beam?

I already have a HID for my lows, would u recommend putting HID too for the High?

Because they say HID takes 30 seconds to be on full bright, so is it useless to put it for the highs? I usually just use High for flashing people. Should I put it for the Highs?

If the stock lamps aren't bright enough for you, you must be driving too fast. You should not drive faster that you can see a distance ahead that you have time to react to changes in the road or road conditions. With super bright lamps you'll be running up on other drivers who don't see as far distant. You'll be frustrated with them, who are diving safely, but seem to be constantly in your way.

I have a hill near home where nearly every weekend somebody crashes when they can't make the turn coming down. They probably see pretty well ahead, but judgement is tricked by their headlights being so bright.

Save your money and keep the stock lamps in place.

Do not install HIDs in your high beams if you are using them alot to flash people. If you have fog lights on your car this would be a better idea to invest for a HID kit there.
