Bang for bucks HID

[chimpboy]

What's the current state of the art with cheap HID gear? I want to put together some driving lights for outback highway use - ie, I want to be able to see a fair way ahead. I am leaning towards cheap Chinese HID with external ballasts plus some fairly compact housings (necessary for the fitting options available).

Any suggestions? I know this is a pretty well trod path.

These are very good bang for ya $ I have 7" and 9" 55w ones. The 9" 55w ones are $45 ex freight
Have bought a lot from them without issue. 120w light bars are $140 including freight to Darwin.

Have hit a few good sized wallabies in the wife's car and they haven't broken yet, hit another one on Saturday at 130kph and it just smashed the ARB indicator/fog light thingo but the elcheapo lights still work

They look good. I don't think I have the depth available for internal ballasts though. Having said that I think I ahve seen almost the same housing without a ballast at the back.
