Thanks for reminding me with the liability issue, it sure is a bit concerning. And you are right about the HID temperature. I did some read up on the issue...it just shows not all salesmen know their own products. After all, I believe the most feasible solution is just like what you mentioned a few says ago of achieving a consistent power supply to the Lo beams not withstanding the operations of the Hi beams. Regarding the Xenon, they sent an E-Mail to me to assure the Hella ballasts are water resistant and made in Germany. Regarding the Lo beams being DRL, I will make a note about the relays (not that I understand it well now, but I hope I will). Other thing I can think of is to cover the cheap lens with clear UV/stone 3M guard. Thanks again,
