no kidding..... 65w halogen to 75w HID..... would be one hell of an upgrade!

I got my lights and the conversion kit from HIDS DownUnder LINK HID-Lightsdownunder - HID - Lightsdownunder , Holga that runs the buisness is very easy to deal with and clued up they come with excellent fitting instructions excellent back up service. and yes very bright Tell him Bladesy put you on to them and he will look after you

Thank you, will follow up.

Cheers

arent these lights good enough in standard form? do I take them off my list of very soon to purchase driving lights?

If you go up in wattage from a 65w globe you will break them heaps more. A mate of mine has the same lights with 130w globe and goes through them at a rate of about 1 globe every few months. I have had mine with the 65w globe on 3 cars over 12 years and havnt replaced a single globe . The lights have done over 300k and 45k of that was around oz on some rough tracks. Can't get a tougher light in my opinion.

And for my 10 cents worth - I think HID lights are good whilst you have them on but when you change back to low beam you become 'night blind' for a looong time! The extreme lights are for a 4wd yeah? So how fast do you go at night?

I have light force XGT halogen. I prefer this light as it is very light in weight and the mounting base is very strong. Heavy steel lights will move on their mounts when it's rough.

Im sorry mate but that is totally untrue. I did the cape with my ipfs, which I have never had to adjust ever, whilst my old mans lightforce 170's rattled to pieces. The ipfs are absolutely rock solid. Actually I havn't had to adjust them or re-tighten them once since I've had them. Don't believe everything you read on a lightforce brochure .
