and these:

Well the xenons are brighter but neither of them are HIDS but both headlamps would work if you had hid ballasts and bulbs

I install the Delta Tech light with the xenon bulbs and just love them. They provide great amounts of light for both on and off road. Very easy to install.

Anybody got a set installed with pics? I'd be interested to see what the beam pattern is compared to a lot of the other brands out there. I bought the IPF housings and bulbs earlier this year and couldn't bear to go back to the old junk.
