I think the 4x24's would keep the temps down. in the stock hood. I had a 70w mh but it was in a sunpod that didnt seem to affect temps, but if it was right on the water it might have caused issues

Check out Nanotuners.com. They have complete retro kits for Metal Halide, LED and other lighting options.
Here's the page for HQI Retros.
They have a sister site called nanocustoms.com as well.
