Xenon headlights ($470 for a pair..make your own)

Tue Sep 19 01:40:24 EDT 2000

Hi,
   I have just been informed by a fellow lister that the website address 
www.fet-usa.com does not show the HID kit(igniters). The address was given 
in this months issueof"MAX POWER" magazine(with a 732hp street legal supra), 
which had an entire article on lighting upgrades. A MUST SEE!

Regards!
