um 17.50 for a NO compared to 70ish on the island for a VHO.. cheeper for the NO's by a long shot. and for what its worth I ran NO overdriven to VHO levels for almost two years befor they burnt out..

but when you start comparing NO on VHO current to VHO on VHO current there is no comparason.. VHOs will Kick there A$$ all over.

$70 for VHO?? Holey crap! I was quoted about $30 a bulb. Maybe I should re-check that.
