[urq] HIDS

There is one other "issue" with HIDs if you live somewhere where it 
snows.  A few years ago I worked at a company that bought one of the 
first BMW X5s in the country.  We needed it for a show/demonstration 
vehicle and ended up getting one from Texas that didn't have the cold 
weather package, which included headlight washers.  Well, what we found 
out was that the 35W HIDs didn't put out enough heat to melt the snow 
from the headlights, requiring you to pull over every once and a while 
to clean the snow from the headlights in order to see.  Not fun or very 
safe.

Just something to keep in mind...
