Subject: Re: HID Lights
Extreme Exposure sells them - just contact Barry or Jarrod. I do not
know if the guy who makes the parts them wants anyone to know he makes
them. Ask those guys. The "ballast", which is actually a tiny circuit,
is in the bulb slug between where it connects and where the socket
starts.

This is like the scooters. I very rarely make the parts myself. The guy
who does would not want anyone to know he makes them - that is not his
real business - he just happens to have the sophisticaed machines that
make it precise and I have other working relationships with him that
have nothing to do with scooters, just like the guy who makes the light
components. This falls into the fun and favors category, not regular
business. Diving has a lot of this, fortuneately, or we would all be
wearing pink forcefins. Ask Carmichael how much money he makes ( loses)
on rebreathers, for instance.
