The camera can't show it, but the bulbs aren't the same color, OR the color I ordered. They're noticeably blue (~6000K), and the replacement set he shipped me (nearly overnight) was about the same, so I'll just go with it.
With separate High & Low bulbs, the lows CAN be wired to stay on with the highs; with HID, the lows SHOULD be wired to stay on. A simple jumper across the dimmer switch (from input to low) will do that.
