    I posted a reply to a question in the forum and it says there where 26 replys, how do I access them? My post on the question was the last one shown, but I don't see any of the 26 replies. I am not new to forums in general, just this one, the post was about HID replacement bulds and a site I have used to purchase a Hid kit for my Beemer motorcycle.They have free shipping and are very reliable and cheap. Here is the post



    [​IMG] Re: HID replacement cost
    Find out what bulb type it is then try these guys out HID Xenon A Conversion Kit WWW.CQLIGHT.CA
    I bought a setup for my bike, bulb, wiring harness, ballast and starter for $75.00, free shipping to the US and Canada.
    35 or 40 bucks a bulb. Tip, dont touch the bulb glass with your fingers and get oil from your skin on them. It could cause the bulb to burn out prematurely or fog the inside of the headlight lens up. Before you stab it in the holder wipe the bulb glass off with alcohol then stab it.
    If the bulb fails on my 08 this is where I will get my replacement, or you can pay 100 dollars or more for the same bulb somewhere else. Bulb brightness is measured in degrees kelvin. The higher you go the more blue or violet the light will be. A new halogen bulb is about 4300 kelvin, 5000 is about the brightness of a flash bulb or diamond white. It looks cool having real blue lights but the higher up you go the less usable light you have. It gets to be like a black light or ultraviolet light. That site has all the facts you need about HID light. I have not looked yet to see what type of base is on the bulb the Prius uses, only had the car for about a month and it's the wifes car. A complete system through these folks is only 165 bucks and that would include more stuff than you need, you only need a 35 or 40 dollar bulb. Buy 2 so you have a spare or change them both out and save the, still good one as a spare.
    Just saw the post above, the D2 is 35 dollars. Send them an email about the mercury free bulbs. It states complete inventory all bulb types available.
    They did me right on the kit for my bike.

    You can flip your monitor upside down, which will make your post the first one. I do this when I want to hijack a thread. :rolleyes:
