Greetings, Mr. A:

Just keep reading the prolific works of our resident S-Car guru - nice work.

I am most curious - what are/is the optimum HID kit for Euro S6 housings. I
recently had a series of 100 w low beam failures/burn outs after install of
euros in the S6. 3 in two weeks. Never was a problem in the S4 equivalent
install. Competition Limited told me lamps were just too hot - use 70's. I
am guessing S6 housings run hotter as they have a smaller profile and I
guess small volume causing higher heat build up. Any BTDT? Comp Ltd (whom I
have purchased all my lamps from) is now selling an HID kit for $450- or so.
Produced by Osram and called "Luminarc", they install in 30 minutes, they
claim. No mention of focal length/alignment or other S-specific details. I
wonder if you have any thoughts. www.hioutputbulbs.com.


Thanks,

Bob
