    Well, I've been using these for nearly a year now with no problems - still on the original lamps. I use the flash (as you do) almost every day, e.g. to signal to other drivers to allow them out of side roads, etc.

    I reckon the reason that halogen main beams are used is because it takes around 5 seconds for the HID lamps to warm up to full brightness from cold so you don't get "instant" main beam until you've been on main beam already. Once they're warmed up, they're fine. I've never considered it a problem because the dipped beam is better than most main beams anyway

    Glad they're going well
    I've definitely seen units that have been used for flashing that have "destabilised", i.e. the colour flickers between blue and pinky white as though it's restriking...not quite settled.

    Nice to have HIDs throughout, though......have you (or anyone else) done their fogs?

    Nope, never use fog lights - front or rear - never seen the point of them.

    I found his eBay shop but looks like he's stopped selling these now.

    You can get them from the USA for $125 + delivery here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PILOT...spagenameZWD2V
