So the High beams are a different set of bulbs or are they the same ones with a different setting?

So one bulb for lo beam has its reflector adjusted to a certain level and the other bulb on the other side is for hi beam and has its reflector pointed higher up? Does the switch on the bike for high beam just turn on the other side(high beam side) when you switch it?

Its a different reflector but same thing you mentioned.
Your Lo beam is on at all time, When you hit your Hi beam switch the other headlight on so that both headlights are on.

DDM usually takes 3 weeks for delivery, so just remember that when waiting.

I did DDM aswell, bought 6000k and i love them, I then bought projectors to do the install and they had h4 bulbs at 4300k, I prefer the 4300k. It's a yellowish white almost pure white and i stick around there 3k is to low in my opinion.
