You may have to go through NASA to get one that is 500,00 CP.
500k reffers to 500 kelvin which is the units of measure for lighting and 500k is actually a very dim bulb

i saw a 150 today with one mainly because it was a sheriffs truck, yeah our sherifs are spoiled they have expiditions f150s and chargers, all black too

I saw that my county sherriffs where using chargers and they didnt look good with the lights. Probly becasue my county started using these things that lift up so i guess people way back can see where they are durring a traffic stop, but they look ugly

I still have it sitting here, it looks great, love Unity. It ran me about 300 or so with the install kit. Like I said it's still sitting here, the reason you mentioned (1/2" hole & I believe 2 3/8" holes) are keeping me from doing it. Would really suck to miss a measurement. I should have it done before Pismo.

Lightbulb

Fellas - the GoLight systems mentioned previously are the way to go.

Well Pat, got started on it today. Had to drill a monster of a 1/2" hole in my a-pillar along with 2 1/8" holes. A 1/2" hole is huge and takes a lot of mind control to overcome, at least for myself it did. I am stuck in the middle of the install because I'm not sure if I want to drill through an interior sheetmetal panel at an angle (it was very difficult to get through the outside body at an angle). Anyways, the movement might be restricted if I go this route so I'm waiting until tomorrow to verify this is the angle it's supposed to enter at. This install is shaving years off my life
