still nobody using these?

They are now 350 $ per light from motorcycle supply stores, harley's and a few old classic cars use them too, some mid 60's mustangs and alpha romeo's

if you price out cibies, and H4 hid kits they are now competitively priced. Also these are made for HID, even better yet

I really want to see some pictures of the light they throw though

Oh, did I mention quality???
I had H13 HIDS installed in the stock reflectors for $250 with a one year warranty. Never been high beamed, never been pulled over...only thing thats happened is that I'm now very excited to drive at night because my headlights are so bright and awesome.

Same here. Paid 80.00 for a pair of H13 bulbs and ballasts. Then another 54.00 for an inline relay to by-pass CANbus flicker when the Jeep was running. Found a wall and adjusted to 34'' high pattern at 25' and they are PERFECT!!!!
Not one single high beam flash from another vehicle and I have passed more than a dozen cops since installing. I have even stopped behind 2 troopers at night and nothing... Very Happy with them and they look great. 600K White from http://www.carhidkits.com/jeep-83/wrangler-hid-kit-431/ Also came with full warranty.

the 80 $ ones are not bi-xeon, so you only have low beams now?

Correct. I live in a rural area with no streetlights and lots of back roads and there is no need for high beams after installing these... They are truly 500x better than stock. No regrets.
