Default What hid's for rally car lamp pod

HI
Bit confused with the numbers and what they do , I have a bonnet lamp pod for my rally car and am doing a rally in 2 weeks with 2 night stages , the lights are hella's with H1 100w halogen bulbs in them ( all came with the car ) I want to change them to hids , which are the ones to get , I want as much light as possible.
My M3 I built , I had hid spots for that and were amazing , but cant remember the spec of them.

I have 2 pencil beam lights , and 2 flood ones now

Cheers Ian

TBH, you won't go far wrong with BOB's H1 HID's, buy them in around 4300K to 5000K, no higher, or they will be too blue/purple.
The H1's are pretty much plug and play

They are pretty good and will also stress the alternator less, being only 35W per "bulb", so 140W total, instead of 400W

there you go BOB: a recommendation from me.........whatever next?LOL

Ian: try NOT to hit anything: the kits still aren't cheap
