Oh, they may still work but the output drops as the electrodes wear away. In halogens the filament wears away and although the halogen gas encourages deposition of the particles back on to the filament, rather than the inside of the capsule, they still lose output.

Whiter light than most halogens and much better colour rendering index (so you can see the colour difference between that kangaroo and the similar shaped bush). Guess which driving lights I bought?

I sold my 240 blitz' and now have only one lightforce XGT 50w HID spotty that is no longer on my car. i need spotties to compliment my lightbar so I will be either A) buying another XGT or B) selling my XGT and buying a pair of fyrlyts seeing as Chris and Snowy have given them such good reviews.
My only concerns are that it may draw too much when in use with my lightbar, and i'm not sure how the halogen yellow will mix with the white of the lightbar. what are peoples thoughts???

Doc, after having my modified Narva 225 HID's fitted the other day and for basically the same price as the Fyrlyt I'd be going the Narva's. I'm over the moon with mine. I have two x spread beams and they give me at least 600-700mtrs of what I think is usable light as I could see a kangaroo at that distance, not crystal clear but I could see it in the middle of the road. The nice white light I've found easy on the eyes too.

Do you find a good spread off the side of the road up close? If you're out later on one day during the night it would be great to see a pic from the drivers seat looking out either side past the A pillars if you didn't mind doing so thanks?
