Re: Xenon headlamps



Hmmm .. I certainly agree that true Xenon lamps require a ballast
. Of course, these lamps DON'T have any sign of one...
which means they're conventional halogens filled with Xenon? Or outright
marketing slosh? The dealer has tried them and verifies that they are
a different "bluer" color than halogens.

To make matters worse [perhaps] they aren't available in 7" single 
configuration, after all. So I guess I saved myself $34. Lucky me.
