), but it would be nice to know the experience of people who did.
The good news is that it appears to be possible to make 15W HID lights, now if only they came as low beam replacements (and in a warmer colour) that would be a real ecomodder replacement, saving 80W a pair compared to halogens and 40W compared to bright HIDs, and be just slightly brighter than standard halogens.
