The Stanley is well regarded as being a great spotlight for the price. there are numerous threads about it at cpf. Any time someone brings up most lumens for the dollar threads, the Stanley always is put on the list by someone. I personally don't own one. here's one of the cpf threads:
btw i have the DDM large ballasts on my civic now cause they seemed more reliable, course the new ones are WICKED nice. they changed the new slim ballast, and its worth EVERY penny
i guess ill just stop at walmart and pick up the Stanley HID spotlight.
There are small ballasts available - though I can't remember where from memory. Lanterns are usually the best bet for such mods - I have a Vector "3 million" CP light I keep meaning to do this to.
Should have paid more attention to the first post, it seems that this was what you were already trying to do.
Beam pattern, output. In the EU 60/55W xenon bulbs are the maximum allowed - you can fail the roadworthiness test ("MoT" in the UK) for the wrong beam pattern. Most of them don't come close to the allowed beam pattern.
If you really want I can quote the 450 pages of UK regulations on car headlamps. Exhaustively!
My father was a judge and has a full set of the legal regulations. They weigh about the same as the hound.
