Re: [T3] HID lights for your 'back?

<x-flowed>If you're buying the bulbs alone, they cost about $100+ over the 
counter. In addition to that comes the ballasts (high voltage units) 
that actually costs some $400 each. So all in all, the Sylvania setup is 
quite cheap! The only problem (for me at least) is that they still have 
a sealed-beam light pattern and that they are not legal in Europe.

light site is http://lighting.mbz.org
