Hid conversions are not suitable for full beam in a h7 application i know for sure. Dont think they are built for full beam full stop as they arent able to flash like a normal halogen bulb. I'm tempted to use them in my 3 door though as I have them in my daily car and they are very good

you can get a bi-xenon kit with high and low beam in a h4 type bulb, fitted a set to my saph last year and the lights are a big improvement over standard

I have a set of H4 Bi-Xenon HIDs in my 4be, great improvement over the 100/80 halogens I had.

I got mine from a UK company off ebay, IIRC they were about £75 but they don't stock the H4 bi-xenons any more.
