Well, the HID is so bight I personally can not tell if the high beam is on or not but remember I have the 4300k kit which projects a more yellowish light than say a 6000k which would be more blue. Also I have had my yellow bulb sonce march of last year and have ridden 8000 miles all of which with the high beam on and I don't think the bulbs is as yellow as it was when I first got it. I have a new yellow bulb coming I will put that in and try it and let ya know what happens.With the HID, do you notice any difference when you activate the yellow bulb?
