   nah this is a common misconception, as already pointed out its not the heat that melts the angels its the uv, and as said get uv protected ones and your fine, nowadays hids are getting really cheap compared to how they used to be, the majority of them will be uv protected now

   would save yourself a fair whack of money and not bother with them for fogs or main beams. I've always found main beams on angels to be pretty good and putting hids in your fogs is just pointless imo

   I have xenons in my standard headlights and they seem much better, the white light also seems to bring out more detail in the road ahead.
   
   I can swear by them they have saved my me when i was driving down a country road at night and a baby deer ran out in front of me and i only noticed it due to the better light. Also when driving in front of me people have said how intense the light appears.
   
   Cheers Jeff

    Not worth having one for the main beam as it takes too long to warm up so you cannot use the flash and HID dipped beams will be more than sufficient in lighting. Unless its for looks then go for all HID.
