Since the purpose of HID's is mostly just for looks, use them for the low's, since those are the ones that are on all the time.

Bright-colored gear helps your daytime visibility alot more than headlights ever will.

true... to a point... I notice headlights especially HID ones before I notice what the rider is wearing. even more so if the bike has on it's Brights. but that's only when the bike is headed towards me... most other angles the gear gets my attention first.

and HID's aren't just for looks... the difference between my low halogen and HID is night and day..

the delay does suck though when switching to hi's.
