Your choices in headlights are VERY limited and are not worth the money over stock IMO. Why aren't you ready for HIDs YET?

You should just save your money and get the HIDs...nothing will compare to them and the new kits out now arent that expensive. I have HIDs for my hi/lows and fogs!

i think the brightest bulbs i used burned out pretty quick if i did a decent amount of night driving.

for the cost of decent bulbs, you could go with a HID conversion kit... but i would stick them in projectors or you'll have some glare to deal with. i'm not a big fan of aftermarket headlights, but i like the HID light output. if i had to go back to stock headlights, i'd probably use a HID conversion and mod the stock housing for proper cutoff if the glare was that bad.
