Tom,
I believe the lights you are referring to are called Hight Intensity Discharge
(HID) lights or something to that effect. Car and Driver did a comparison test
on lighting systems a few months back and included a BMW with that option.
Rated very high. I did happen to see such an after-market system offered
through J.C. Whitney (of all places). Not cheap. They wanted $1,200 for it.
Maybe in time cost will come down. At that price it's a little steep for me.
Don't know of any other places that sell them, but I'm sure there must be some.
Best of luck.

Subject: TR headlights
Listers,
The time has come to replace the headlights on my TR4 (The thought going
through the eight-point buck's mind as I bear down on him at 65mph is
probably...."yeah right"). I recall a thread a few months ago about a
new type of headlight unit out that creates a more piercing "white or
blue/white" light...rather than the typical dim "yellowish" light. I
think I have seen these lights on newer Mercedes. Does anyone have
experience with these lights, what are they called and where are they
available. I think the tread said they were available mail-order from
an outfit in Baltimore.
TIA
Tom Long
