Just used my new HID light from BatterySpace.com last night and it was wonderful. I found myself cruising along at 21 mph and not feeling like I was going way too fast like I did under my old light setup. The 6 degree spot seems to be just the ticket for road riding with anough splash light to light roadsigns some way down the road. Need to figure out a good way to hold the wires on the frame but I figured I would have to figure that out with any light. Best of all car headlights were no longer washing my vision out. Anyway, long story short, I got pretty worked up with all the HID talk and although it is not a million candlepower spotlight, it is very adequate for riding at higher speeds in the dark. For the first time I found myself steering around small stones and pebbles that were now visible.
