36 is crazy high! i drove to LA and back on a full tank of gas and i was at a 1/4 tank when i got home. i don't have a problem with my HID's. they're pretty bright. and i know what you mean about the wing being in the way. i dont really have a problem, but it makes it harder to spot the cops when im driving around. haha.

Are you sure you're calculating right? Last time someone claimed 36 MPG it was because they were measuring how many miles it took for the fuel gauge to read at 1/2, but our fuel gauges aren't linear. I estimate that 75% of the gas is gone by the time it reaches the 1/2 way mark.

I love it as well im not blinded by people behind me as much plus i have 5%limo tint. that also helps but lowers visability quite a bit.

I don't think it much matters what you get, they are all pretty much the same. You need an electronic unit. A vacuum unit won't work.

Once set higher you can turn them down for around town and up a click for high speed driving and still have them down on the road enough that nobody is bothered. Then you will have great lights.

As for the cruise, get one installed. I use mine all of the time.

Whoa. I want to do this.
