Jaycar have both 35w and 55 w kits. I tried the 55w in Hella 1503 searchlights on highway trucks and in a single (cyclops) lamp on my County. Awesome lightup but I found the halogen just as effective and not as wearing on the old man eyes. I did not like the delay arcing up with the HID bulbs. One second at 110 k's is 30.5 metres.

Pretty sure I have the 35 watt Jaycar kit in the Narvas.
The delay is noticeable with them compared with when I had a different system (hi-lo HID) with different ballasts in the headlights. The delay after the initial supernova when those were first turned on was much shorter.

Although you say FYRLYT's are out of your price range I would highly recommend them . Have them on both my cars. The whole point of FYRLYT's is that they are the correct colour temperature and are less likely to wash everything out
I do not have a lot of experience with the "very far beam" lights you guys have but I do have a bit of experience with light colours. I have been messing around with HID conversion on several vehicles for years now and I used to go for 6K at least because that made them visible during the daytime. Once I shifted down to 5k I thought I saw less of the light during day for sure and seemingly at night (it's all between the ears) but it turns out that the light is closer to daylight and thus goes up in its surroundings more.
Since then I have purchased a car which came with HID's from factory in the late 90's (and is still in top shape, so no worn HID's) and they are 4.3k if memory serves. Thus far I have found this to be the best light colour yet! I guess they did know what they were doing back then
So, tl;dr go with something close to 4.3k and your eyes will thank you for it, wether you go led or hid. Not too many LED's come in this colour though.
Cheers,

Just to wrap up the thread, I ended up biting the bullet and getting a 4.3k 55w HID kit from that eBay seller for the IPF900's.
Finally got a chance to give them a decent test last night taking the scenic route home from work. They work well and have definitely given me the reach I was after.
The light bar still provides a fair bit of close range side fill that the IPFs don't so everything works well together.
Thanks all
