Costco HID v. Sams HID

[lumenjunkie]

I already have the monster Costco HID. Also got a Jen Lui's McCulloch 990X HID. Now Sam's Club has me jonesing for theirs. Does anyone own both the COstoc and Sams? Is it worth buying the Sams also? Is the beamshot/throw different? Thanks!

The Sams Club HID is smaller and lighter than the Costco HID. But the Costco HID will throw farther.

Heres a thread showing the AmondoTech Illuminator VS the Costco HID. The main difeerence between the AI and SC is that the SC uses a higher kelvin bulb.

Hallis, the only way to get the "Costco" HID is to order one from Harbor Freight. The HF one is orange, and it costs a bit more then the "Costco" one did.

I own both. They are both great lights. If you are keeping an eye on the sams club hid thread they are starting to go on clearance in certain locations. As if $100 isn't a bargain in itself, $75 or less will be a steal.

Buy one.
