[DML] Re: Who wants "TRUE" HID headlights???

["turbodelorean" <dmcfan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

HID bulbs are rated at 35W. This is not that much different from a 
stock halogen bulb. Most of the fascia warping in my opinion happens 
due to exposure in the sunlight. You can check the temps with a 
laser temp checker. We did this once to the dashboard after being in 
the sun for an hour and it got over 300 degrees, hence why 
dashboards start to warp over time to too much sunlight exposure. My 
other car besides my DeLorean is an S2000 which has HID lighting 
from the factory. At no time does the headlight housing become hot 
to the touch. There are always a lot of misconceptions on a lot of 
topics. The fact is if you do your research on how HID lighting 
really works you will see that the fascia will not be effected by 
HID headlights.
