I have the XGT's but want opinions on the Hid's as Im looking at investing in a set
They are $1150 each so they are not cheap but are they as good as the price they are selling for????

Thanks
Brad

shop around, there are a few guys who sell an upgrade kit for the xgt's to HID.
i'm not sure who does it, check the for sale section.
they work out roughly about half price, however you have to do a bit of the work yourself.

Steve at on4tou does mods.
As well as ???? (http://members.westnet.com.au/copytec/lfhid.html)
...and as well as myself. (hid.isclever.com)
I just sell the instructions in order to do this mod. Others may sell modified bracketry - unsure.

Buy a HID kit either from Steve (50w), from ebay (35w to 42w), from John @ bitdistribution (50w), or Paul @ BrightLightAutoParts (35 or 55w), or whoever else, then modify your XGT's to fit.

I have yet to test the 55w HID kits, however reckon that they ought to piddle all over the standard 35w HID's that are in Lightforce 240HID's.
50watt Lightforce 240HID's have now just hit the market in the past few weeks. Apparently these are $1150.00 each, whilst the older 35watters are around the $800-$900 range.
I've got a set of XGT 5000k 45w HID's and a set of 35w 6000k Blitz's on the front of me ute. Hardly need any more light....

Hope some of this may help....

Why dont you look at the Zenon filled Hellas predators (there the ones in the red )

Just outta interest:

Hella Predators cost $1500.00 each and use 28 watt ballasts with 'D2S' designed bulbs.
...and in comparison, Jaycar now sell hand held 24 watt HID torches which cost $500.00.

I also here that there are 70w HID inserts being developed for the XGT's

but on another note i dont beleive the HID LF are that good have had some reports on them espacially the 50w units and they seem to over heat.
