RE: headlamp / HID system



if i remember correctly just short of 400USD.  in my eyes this is worth it. 
 i had my high beams on and the guy who hit me still couldn't see me.  i 
want to put in a brighter light but was worried about longevity of the bulb 
and the heat generated by more watts.  the middle of the course is HID.  it 
is intended for off road from the guys selling them but they are able to 
use a shielded bulb that isn't too much like day light or if i am really 
mean i can buy the off road and just piss everybody off with that much 
light.  the situation is that replacement bulbs are big time expensive, in 
the range of 150USD.  the trade off is that these guys are supposed to go 
2500+ hours for their life span and produce five to seven times as much 
"white light" as a traditional halogen of comparable wattage.  comparable i 
think is seventy or eighty watts.
so if you have the means and the desire, do it because i don't think you 
will regret doing it.  they also have dual lamp setups if you really want 
to go for it.  i may if i have the means.

Cool! (No pun intended...) I've seen their ads in the back of magazines,
but that's about all I know. Do you mind saying how much they want for a
single headlight system?
