Power brake (Torque Brake) when you start off. That means hold down the gas pedal to around 2,000 RPMS while holding down your break. When the race starts, simply let go of the brake.

Yes, those particular ones are HID. Try finding them on eBay. The headlights normally run $2k+ and installation 1k+.
