[urq] H1 bulb

[Brandon Rogers]

Well duh, Bill!  No offense taken.  Of course HID is way mo' better!  I do have light envy.  But the question posed was where can I get bulbs..not is HID better than uprated euro lights.  so there.  (if only email could display intonation, sarcasm etc...all in good fun).  anyway I heard rumors that HID conversion kits were becoming hard to come by for some legality reasons????  I think last time I went to check at HIDS4LESS there was nothing....just did a search and its still gone, but several other sites came up....anybody know more about this??

  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....

    hth-

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