There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Headlights: Other than HID lamps, is there another 'bright' bulb option?

No separate high and low beam on North American Spyders (except ST?). They use a shutter to cover the top of the lens on low beams.

Depends on the model.

I have the HID kits from Xenon Depot. Really makes a difference. They come with everything you need. I will caution that if you are going to install them on an SE, use the extra harness that goes to the battery. It might save you from some spurious code issues. I also tried H11 bulbs for the fogs. They will not fit in the housing even though they are a replacement for H8 bulbs.

First off IMHO there is NO substitute for HIDS and that BRP kit is great and would not trade mine for any other kit out there.
You can find high wattage H7 bulbs being higher then the standard wattage H7 bulb but higher wattage means higher power draw and higher heat. Which you can run the risk of melting wiring that was not designed to run those.
They do have high powered LED bulbs out there now running CREE and even have built in fans for heat. They may do the truck for ya

bruiser: Thank you so much for taking the time to post up some feedback. I'm glad to hear that you are happy with the low beam upgrade.
xllxmrjohnxllx - According to my info, you would need to order an H7 HID kit to upgrade the low/high beam on your Spyder. I believe that your stock headlight bulb uses an adaptor to hold the stock H7 bulb into place which means that you would need to order this H7 adaptor in addition to the kit.

Some Guy: You would need to order a 9005 HID kit to upgrade the low/high beam on the RT
xllxmrjohnxllx: Im 99% sure you're going to need that adaptor. You can check by pulling out your stock H7 bulbs, and checking to see if they plug into an adaptor or if they are simply held in place by the standard retaining clip.

I ran ZXE light on my VTX, and I currently run them in my Silverado as well. The difference is above and beyond. Advance sells them and normally has a pretty large selection of them. I am going to be working tomorrow on getting a set on my F3-S to see how they do.
