Re: Xenon Lights

["Mark Manley" <WarpOMatic@domain.elided>]

    Thanks for all the replies. Looks like I confused the issue
by calling them xenon, but the Sylvania site says "HID, sometimes
called xenon lamps." After studying that site I realized the only
HID lights in their 4 lamp kit is the low beam. Looks like the high
is a halogen.The 4 lights, relays etc are $500 but for all that you get
better near and periferal vision but, from the example on their site,
hardly any better view down the road ( not that any of us go fast
enough to need that ...right ;-) 
   Sounds like John might have the right idea if I can figure out
a little more about relays and how many ( 2, 3, 4!!???) 
If anyone is interested Sylvania is at www.sylvania.com/auto
                Thanks,
