[s-cars] HID lights group buy- $185/set delivered

[Lino M. Valadas]

This is indeed a great forum.  I have enjoyed reading all the emails and I
have made a decision, scientific or otherwise, I must say otherwise.  But
for the money, I will Paypal Mr.Chiu for a set of 5300k HID's.  The 93 S4
will see low beams HID's for Xmas.

In the end I got more information than I bargained for.  I had decided on
HID's  but simply wanted to know whether to go with the McCullough system or
spend more money and go with Phillips' or Hella's.

I appreciated all your input which I found to be honest and sincere.

Cheers

Lino
