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.

Of course Hella are highly objective and aren't in the least interested in
selling their headlights. I still don't see how it could possibly cost that
much. My whole car is probably only worth about that much.

This is from Hella's web site:

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Xenon technology is currently the most advanced development in the field
of motor vehicle headlamp systems. Xenon has two decisive advantages
over the light of conventional light-bulbs: a xenon light source
delivers twice the light output of a modern H7 bulb while consuming only
2/3 of the energy. The improved light output makes the road brighter and
illuminates a wider area, the daylight-like quality of the xenon light
is welcomed by the human eye. Drivers get tired slower and driving
becomes more relaxed. This means an enormous gain in safety and driving
comfort.
