[urq] H1 bulb

[Bill Bennett]

I used to love my 600 watt high beams and my 200 watt low beams until I replaced them with HID capsules, no offense to Brandon, incandescent lighting is a joke compared to HID, HID RULES, nothing even comes close, if you chose to go HID, go white, not blue, more light! Bill

  I do believe the question asked was "where can I get H1 bulbs?"
  I have purchased H1/H4 uprated bulbs from this place:

  http://www.puma-access.com/

  No offense meant to Rich as the info he provided could be useful...but I
  know when I ask a question and get seven answers providing all sorts of info
  _other than_ the answer can be frustrating....

  I love my 400W lights on bright mode.....
