Got it today. It's frickin huge. But suprisingly lightweight(most of the size is in the reflector).Since the thing is supposedly rated at 40 min run time and the bulb uses 130 watts at 12 volts, it'll use 10.8 amps an hour. Based on the size of the battery in it, I can custom make a battery pack out of 70 AA rechargeables 2500 mah to last 1 hr and 37 minutes. Now the hard part is coming up with that many batteries without spending 200 dollars. I've heard HID uses less power and is brighter. Anyone know anything about that?
I don't know where to start.....

Look up HID upgrades to replace H4 bulbs, you'll be able to find stuff definitely.
If you can read this, roll me back over....
