    Nice!

    I see the air conditioner in the background. If you need some cooler air, you can come on over. -15 tonight with 4" fresh snow and 40 mph winds. [:D]
    It was a chilly ride today, and I went less than 10 miles!

                                      Count me in on a group buy as well if they are the same for the sp800, and also if shipping to Canada isn't an issue. It's not just the one ballast for all three lights is it??

                                            That's what I always thought, but he only mentioned where he mounted one ballast, so it got me thinkin... something new?

                                                I asked this question somewhere else, but it got ignored. What kind of life span should i expect out of my stock Halogens?

                                                    It probably got ignored because there no standard answer..it depends on a lot of factors...how long you use them each time...in what enviroment..and how do you ride..vibration ect..they last a good while and are pretty cheap to replace..the XP for instance uses a standard 886 bulb you can pick up at most any parts store..the HIDs reportedly last up to 10X as long...
                                                    One thing tha tis real important to bulb life is to NOT touch them with bare hands and keep them clean..any type of oil on them will shorten life as it holds in heat and the acid can etch the globe distorting the light..if you don't believe it put a fingerprint on one and use it for a month or so then go back and look closely at it..most times the print will be etched into the globe..
                                                    hope this helps..
                                                     
                                                    As lunvmud alluded to earlier the HIDs are a HUGE difference..I have put kits on my vehicles and after you do if you drive a non-HID vehicle you would swear something is wrong with the headlights..even on high beam standard halogens look dim compared to HIDs!

                                                      Ok thanks HO, reason I ask is because I'm going to get the HIDs at some point (hopefully with this group buy), but I'd like to use up my Halogens rather then throw out a good set of bulbs, but if they're cheap to replace then I guess it's no loss.

                                                        No need to throw them out..you can save them..in a pinch the HID kit can be disconnected and the halogen bulb put back in if you by some chance has a bulb failure...but really if 1 of the HIDs is working you can make do to get you where you are going..
                                                        Or you might could get a few bucks out of them in the classifieds..but yeah the halogens are not terribly expensive..like $5-7 each

                                                            just for the record guys, I have the three light HID setup on my 2005 500ho, and to run all three lights you have to be, moving, if not the right front headlight flickers then goes out, I believe it is becuase they take too much power. Just a heads up, they are very bright tho
