So what your saying, Zilla, is that the site that I have bookmarked is the best place to buy non-popups?!

Well, I don't have a price. Ask Speed, he bought some. Or you could phone up L5 and ask. If you have the cash to buy the lights, i'm pretty sure a long distance charge won't kill you.

And the final reason I will be continuing my pop-up fiasco. I love the way they look, but man!!! That's some serious change! Do yours have fans and what not to keep them cool? That to me spells disaster...

no sir, this particular style apparently doesn't need it. My ballasts are not mounted within the light assembly and I have NEVER heard of anyone having a problem with this brand.

Mine are BPP. I love them, but painted them to give eyebrows.

^Those look great!!

OK, the L5 units are $1100, and $1400 if you want HID. I just got a reply email from them this morning. They also responded that these are the same kits that were originally designed for Max Acceleration, which were reknowned for being the best kits out there.
