hi, Has anyone tried using car HID xenon filled headlamps for their DIY lighting? they comes in a huge range of colour temperature up to 24000k (purplish) and has a lux level of 200k at 500mm. and most attractive of all is they are relatively cheap. i've ordered a set for 45usd + shipping for my non aquarium project. i don't know much about DIY, maybe someone could help me, i can order the lamps in and work together. the lamps comes with ballasts and wiring, just need a light fixture and probably a control box to step down from 220-240v to 12v.

Car HID are actually MH but lower wattage. I think most of them are 55W? For small tank it should be ok. Another thing, car HID run on 12VDC, so I'm not sure if your ballasts include transformer to step down and convert AC to DC.
