Anyone have an idea what the price of this kit would be with the SR-Q2's?

Kit would be well into the $400 range I am sure. And as for output the difference as far as lumen output would be compairing halogen headlights to hid headlights. The SR-Q's put out 1500 lumens which is about the same as a halogen bulb. The SR-Q2's put out 3000 lumens which is the same as a HID bulb.

So I am thinking the SR-Q would be more than enough for the average user. Although I do like goneFXcrazy's thinking.

In all honesty, the SR-M kit is like highly upgraded reverse bulbs, the SR-Q kit is like putting some 55w fog lights under your bumper, and the SR-Q2 lights are like putting diffused headlights back there. I have 20% tint and could see fine when I still had the SR-Q's, more than fine. For the average person, SR-Q all day long, more than enough light, probably more than you expect even.

TAP can chime in when they get a chance, but I'd say somewhere under $400 with the SR-Q2's?

Great comparison with the halogen vs HID.

It was a spur of the moment thing, get 2x the light for a great deal? Why not???
