Howdy y'all. I am looking to try to do a HID spotlight conversion mod. I ran across what looks to be a good host while cleaning out a closet the other day for a friend and he gave it to me. The reflector is polished metal (Steel as far as I can tell) and the lens is glass. The current bulb is a 100W 6V H3 bulb. The handle also has a nice 2 position mode.

I am looking to use the light at storage auctions. These usually occur during the day so I need quite a bit of light.
I am thinking of a 100W HID kit but am not sure which one to buy. Any recommendations? I am also completely unsure as to what battery to go with. I can fairly easily cut off the back of the light and add my own battery box and probably will to get more than 5 minutes of run time. http://www.atbatt.com/product/8020.asp does not look too bad but I really have no clue on the battery.
I will probably be mounting the ballast to the outside of the light.
I would like to keep the cost around $100. Less if possible but I doubt it.
