Default HID Lights!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!

Ok I am sure that other has found this out already but I am new to true High Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting... I have always owned good lights on my Jeeps and trucks as I do like to four wheel at night and only on my current JK have I decided to spend the money on HID's and all I can say it; WOW!!! They are truly brighter that the Sun!!!
I have been running (6) Baja Designs Fuego's 100W Halogens and just replaced them (4) of them with HID versions and although I have not been out at night with them, I have turned them on in my shop and they really hurt your eyes to even catch a view of them out of the corner of your eye... I pulled the Jeep out into the bright sunshine outside my shop and looking at them was harder to look at then the Sun, I am not BSing... It is really like looking at a welding arch, it's that bright. The windshield lights are still 100W version. See the difference?
If you plan to four wheel and night and want to spend the money on HID's, you will NOT be disappointed I can assure you that...!!! As soon as I get my Hemi in the Jeep and its back on the road, I will post night pics of the lights. I know the photo attached doesn’t do the brightness justice but you kind of get the idea.

Soltecs Fuego's are simply insane lights!

Even more insane, I know a bunch of IBA guys, And a pair of these mounted to an FJR1300 works quite nice in the Nevada Desert...
