I've heard the HID's to the halogens are what the halogens to the pistol
grip 14w's are. I'm like Jim though, it's hard to justify the extra unless
you REALLY need it. It's like anything else though, when you're used to the
pistol grips, the halogens are like daylight. Once you get used to the
halogens then you'll think you just HAVE to have the HID light.

BTW Jim, the crack about the scooter was tongue in cheek. Didn't intend it
to be kicking you when you're down.

dollar whilst in the US.  That Hurt!
