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

[RM]

Back to the original post for a moment ;-) Could some please forward me the 
link to this particular group buy? Skeptical/conservative i may be, but i am 
interested. As someone said, for $185 you can take a chance and if it isn't 
to your liking, toss it on ebay. Just lets try not to do it all at one time! 
;-)

Well, bi-xenons are a different story. I bought a set of hi/lo H4's and they 
work well, as they have a movable shield that slides to create a high beam 
focal point.

Again, though, that works only when you switch to high beam when the low 
beams are already on. It stinks for flash to pass since the warm up time on 
HIDs is long enough that whomever you are flashing is gone long before they 
get bright enough to accomplish anything.

  I actually think the bixenon projectors are quite nice- the Audi ones work 
very well. I guess all bixenons are not created equal, because the Valeo 
bixenons in our Volvo are terrible- very slow to switch to high beam, slow 
to light, totally useless for flash-to-pass. If I had to drive the car all 
the time, I would invest in euro-spec V70R headlamps to gain the dedicated 
flash-to-pass halogen high beam, even if I lose the stupid DRL.

    And by the way, in fogs, I agree with him......that's a very different
    requirement as far as lighting goes.

    I don't like HID high beams or fogs, just low beams.
