not sure on the first question.
. But just so I'm clear. HIDS cost how much in lost mpg? Because my Infiniti Q45 was epa 22 hwy and I got 32 mpg hwy with minimal moods RUNNING factory HIDs.*****************

Again, 'more' light is not correct light or better light.
I am also confused. Above you say that HIDs run on 'thousands of volts' yet....as if by magic
......your's run 'at 40 watts, which only saved me 15 watts.' ??????????
1000 - 40 = 9960 saved watts...........
