Clarification question. Are the two bulb kits supplied with two of the same bulbs and the only difference is how they're aimed or are there different high and low beam bulbs?

Ok,I am sold so far. Questions;
1.The two bulbs replace my stock ones and have high and low per bulb?
2.Do I need to custom fit them? are the bulbs direct replacement in the headlight fixtures ?
3.I like the 55 watt idea(overkill) the Ballast do or not have to be in the airflow. Don't want melted plastic.
4.No overload to the electrical system?They mention in the advertisement "startup voltage". The headlamps in the 93 CBR come on when you turn on the key before the engine is started. Will I need a switch for them?
Thanx Guys.
DDR list them for just under 100 bucks.They also advise that the blue color is not as bright as the white color, it all sounds reasonable to me so far !

I thought HID's were single beams.

From what I've read they come in two types. And a big thank you to all who have educated me here on the Forum ! Great advice as always from guys who know what's good.
One is a mixture of HID and Tungsten the other is twin filament both HID. That'll be the one for me !
I see there are cheap sets that don't have ballasts - ? can't be much good.....?
I have much to learn about this. May end up fitting HID to my car, wife's car and bike, when I can afford to.

Why only 4300 K ? Why not go for broke and fit 8000K units ?
Surely the more light the better ?
Who sells zee German ones on e Bay ?
My biggest problem is getting suppliers to post them here !
