    hmm.. I think maybe $6 or $7 each. just don't get the blue tinted bulbs, they cost more and put out less light.

    if you want NICE bulbs, i got a lead on some osram +90 bulbs, i think one of the only suppliers that has a plus +90 bulb in the states. They are spendy though $20/bulb. but well worth it, i love mine. Nice thing about them is they are hella bright (think HIR bulbs) and they are dot legal! unlike aftermarket HID kits.

    Thats funny, Cause i was pulled over for No turn signal and i asked the cop if there were any laws against HID kits and he said that my mights were fine. (city cop and state trooper both told me this) They both told me that as longer as they aren't yellow or pink or any obscene color that they were fine.

    lmao!

    There were definitely a bunch of lighting nazis out in your area. I bet that if I showed up in a car with STOCK HIDs, I'd still get gruff for them. Damn hillbillies. :p :laugh:

    yes you would. they are clueless up here. If I see a car with HID's I instantly assume they are from out of town.

    Bill, HID's come on some cars without projectors. While the cops may not like it, they aren't illegal.

    Projected beams just look nicer.

    BTW, if you had the Bi-Xenon kit in your car, the cop probably would've kept his mouth shut cause they have a nice cut-off to them.

    the bi-xenon kit will be what I get next time. hopefully that will also cut down on the number of people that flash me because my lights are to bright for there red neck eyes.

    The +90's are slightly "whiter" than a standard halogen and a hell of alot brighter. They beat any bulb currently on the market, if you're looking for pure performance and lumens.
    It's a 55w bulb that is 90% brighter in the center of the beam than any other bulb of the same wattage. Their output is comparable to a 110w bulb, but they last longer. You can email daniel stern direct. He is really good about getting to customer emails pronto. www.danielsternlighting.com
