I have never understood the draw to HIDs. People on the mazda6club.com boards are all over them but I don't get it. $400 bucks for some lights? HIDs are one thing I'd rather have factory equipped than shoe horned on.
Excellent post!

I've thought about putting HID's on my R6, which already has projector beam headlights. The bulbs themselves aren't too high price (~$100/pr), but the ballasts are super-expensive. I found do-it-yourself ballast plans on the 'net...anyone tried this before? The only thing I'm worried about is getting the voltage right; I'd hate to burn out a bulb prematurely at $50 apiece.
