Default Headlamp upgrade options...

..what's really out there?

My lenses aren't foggy or hazed over but I'm tired of the weak, dull light. I was going to go HID but saw a few in person and the beam pattern SUCKED and was really dangerous for other drivers on the road.

Any options you guys either have tried or read about? Even if it's just a simple bulb replacement.

Thanks!!

If you want me to I can pm you a link to a website where I got HID's from. I dont believe they are a sponser. I have an awesome beam pattern, and with the high beam mod (all 4 headlights on all at once) and the highs on, i can see prob a good 1/4 mile ahead on a straight road. I have the 5000k kit on lowbeam which is pure white, and 6000k for highs, which is slightly blue.

Frosty.... check out HIDPlanet.com

They have an online store that has HID's with HID projectors so that the beam pattern doesnt suck. The also have a forum with an amazing knowledge base, and they can assist you in a retrofit.

Tekno... if you have HID bulbs in a Halogen housing... then trust me... the beam pattern sucks.
