When I first saw the nonpop-up headlight kits I liked them, but they are over $1000 I think. Now, I am not so sure. Are everyone elses factort leadlights really dim? I think my brights are only slightly brighter than most dim lights on other cars, making it pretty hard to see at night.

ok dude im gonna get you some pics tommorow. I just got my projectors in today. They have HIDs in them which give off a "blue/purple" cutoff/flicker but are actually the color of daylight.

Umm you would prolly choke on the money I spent for my hid headlight setup but I used OEM products for ballasts and bulbs.
Philips Gen III ballasts with philps 4300k bulbs.
Used hella 90mm projectors
had someone make me a custom heavy duty wiring harness.
I have Hella 90mm H9 projectors with a 4300K H9 HID kit (from www.ledgauges.com) and modified cut off on my 2001 Formula:

Sorry about the pic being a bit blurry. The camera is on the roof set to full auto. It appears to have focused on the roof and I didn't notice until I reviewed the pics on my pc.
You can find more info about it and other lighting options in the Lighting FAQ:

Here is DirtyBird222's thread on his setup:

His setup also uses Hella 90mm projectors, but I think they are the H7 version instead of the H9 version that I have.
