Our Bi-Xenon lamps
I was wondering how strong our Bi-Xenon headlamps are... they're measured in kW as well aren't they?! Does anybody have some figures??

They are Philips 4300 kelvin bulbs with Hella ballast in Hella housing. The light intensity is measured in luminus but I forgot the exact rating. The power rating is 35watts. Some people upgrade the bulb to 6000 kelvin for the blueish tint, supposedly with lower intensity. But still bright enough to damage your eyes if you stare at it long enough.

There are some new bulbs claimed to be 50 watts which are brighter, but long term effect to ballast and wiring is unknown at this point.

They did not have them standard. I don't know if they were in a package or stand-alone.
