[s-cars] More HIDs

[Matthew Russell]

Nice, Bob.  I have euro lenses that will be receiving HID lows so i can 
let you know.  Though currently I'm running H1 silverstars in all 
positions, they are the standard wattage.

Did you upgrade to 6,000k or stick with 5400?

I'm torn on this one, but leaning toward 6000k.  hey, it's only 10 more 
bucks.
