High intensity discharge.

The bluey looking lights you get on premium brand motors.

About £250 to £300 for an aftermarket kit.

Very bright.

But can anyone answer my question: Do they run significantly cooler than stock 55/60W bulbs, thereby allowing me to put them in the cheap aftermarket headlight cowl I bought, without melting it?

Unfortunately (just like every time I searched for "HID temperature") I could only see info on the "colour temperature" of the light it cast, rather than the operating temperature of the unit itself. Ta for trying though.
