HID lights are now available from Hella and PIA. I have a set of non-HID
hella 500's on my jeep and feel like every other experience at night is
extremelly inadequate. You can check either maker's sites for sizes and
availability. I know SummitRacing has a good selection of PIA, among a
thousand other suppliers.
