SPEEDY
I have a 82 model chevy silverado and the oem headlights suck. I have seen them with an H.I.D kit on a 83 model in a magazine and they looked pretty cool. I was wondering if anyone knew where i can actually find some. I've looked everywhere, i even tried ebay but no luck. Can someone please help me?

All DOT approved lights have a maximum of 55 watts output. Manufacturers tweak the light frequency to the white side, toward 5500 degrees Kelvin, to make them look brighter, but the lumen outputs are really all about the same. Other than a slight gain in beam control, they don't really do much better because of DOT specs.
Simple Euro headlight replacements in the 100 watt range will blow them away - seeing stop signs a mile down the road in flat country is common (don't ask how I know ;). ) Plus, on low beam, oncoming drivers are not affected - they have superior cutoff and don't shine up in the trees. Hella and Cibie, among others, have been making them for decades, the tech is proven - just not legal here.
It's no comfort the council advising DOT on this is made up of US makers who have been stonewalling improvements for 50 years.HID, projector, and the new LED will never be as good until at least '60's era Euro reflector shapes and output are made legal.
