RE: [ST] What's that LED & HID Lights

Matt,

No idea what LED you might have in your hand there. Could it be one for the
high beam indicator?

The true High Intensity Discharge lights are usually Xenon lamps. The real
ones are quite expensive, use a lot of power, are very bright, and did I
mention, are quite expensive? You would have to add power transformers, and
I believe your lenses would melt, as Xenon burns much hotter than halogen
lamps.

Get the Phillip Vision Plus and be done with it.

Hi all,
	Having taken off my front fairng today so i can fit new headlight
globes (got the cheap opti-blue ones whilst now the colour is better the
brightness is worse). Anyway when i unplugged the park light, i noticed
another wire. i pulled and out came an LED. Any idea what it is for. it
doesnt come on with park lights.

As a second, has anybody fitted those HID lights to the sprint as yet. These
are those bright white sort that you mostly see on the mercedes benz and
higher model BMW's (in australia anyway). If so what are your experiences
good or bad.

Thanks
