i didn't EQUAL the cost of HIDs but i mean.. its still money down the tubes
cheap ass eurolites $20usd
sylvania 'coolblue $8usd
PIAA 90w 'hyperwhite' $60usd
heavy duty wiring harness $40usd
dielectric grease $5usd
2 sets of generic 100w bulbs $20usd
that's $153usd right there.. when the MACHs were at their very cheapest that was almost 1 side right there...
that said.. the only real waste there was the PIAAs, eurolites and coolblue (pretty much all the crap tinted stuff)... the dielectric grease, 100w bulbs and wiring harness IMHO were money well spent.. OEM wattage is 55w or 60w right? so that's almost double the light output for $65usd. and its an actual improvement, not marketing hype.. more wattage + no tint = more light..
