Default Let's talk Xenon

I have been doing a little research into upgrading to a HID's (Xenon) and adding Tri Bar P700's on my Backdraft. Upon doing so I have encountered "many" different kits and manufacturers available and have been left with a couple of questions I thought I would throw out to those of you who already have been down this road.

In order to preserve Hi-Lo I know that I need a dual beam setup, however I'm finding out that there are two very different varients.

1. A true dual beam bulb with 4 ballasts

2. A single beam bulb with two ballasts and a magnetic base that moves the bulb into a Hi-Lo position when you hit the Hi beams

What setup is everone else using? Any recommendations?

I know Jay (Vintage), Reg/Frank (Backdraft) and Gary (KC) all have kits available but now I'm wondering what their kits are too??

Any insight would be welcome.
