for those like me that did nont know:-
www.hid50.com yiels the following:-
High intensity Discharge lighting is light from a plasma discharge rather t
han a filament. The system involves a combined igniter and ballast to star
t the light and maintain the current, and certain gases and metal salts to
create the light. Overall the system uses less energy than halogen lightin
g, while producing 4 times more light per watt. HID lights are sometimes r
eferred to as Xenon bulbs, due to the presence of Xenon gas between the ele
ctrodes. Note that some halogen bulbs contain small amounts of Xenon (up t
o 5%) and accordingly brand themselves as =22Xenon lights=22, but they are not
High Intensity Discharge lamps and do not put out greater light than standa
rd halogen bulbs.

Just on Raimo's and johns note on the hid lights, you might find this s
ite
useful www.hid50.com I have not purchased anything from him yet, b
ut
the prices seem good, and he has a lot of good information that is wort
h
a read if considering HID. Only problem is he sells just the bulbs and
balasts
no lights to put them in, so you need to find a suitable light to take
the
bulb, my thoughts were some of the new motorcycle lights are just about
the right size and could be dismantled and fitted into the cowl.
