Hid Plug And Play Kit Or Projector Plug And Play

As All Can See, I Am A Newbie, I Have An 09 Ss/tc Sedan. Basically, I'm Still Kinda Confused On Which Kind Of Upgraded Headlights I Should Get. I Actually Need Something Stronger And Brighter Because I Do Have Poor Eyesight At Night. The Stock Halogens Just Aren't Cutting It For Me.

3b Specialties Offers A Plug And Play Hid Kit For $130 Shipped. They Said You Can Put It Right In With No Cutting Or Shaping Or Anything. Sounds 2 Good 2 B True. Someone Then Told Me About The Drawbacks Of That Particular Kit, Mainly That It Reflects And Glares Like Crazy Off Factory Housing? Is That Correct?

So Someone Said To Get The Plug And Play Projector Kit Instead? I Guess It Will Cost More Than $130. But What Is The Difference Between The Two Kits? Are They Both Plug And Play And Are The Projectors Just As Strong And Bright As The Hid Kit? Or Do The Projectors Just Focus The Beam To A Narrow Light Shaft? That Wouldn't Help Me As I Need To See The Whole Road Better? Thank You

Yes, dont let anyone else tell you otherwise.

I've seen some plug in projector optics, but the light output was questionable since they use small projectors.
A proper hid projector retrofit would be ideal since it uses oem hid projectors, but its not cheap. But if you really have poor eyesight at night you should go this route, you will not be disappointed.

I always make it a habit to point and laugh at people who stick hid bulbs in halogen reflectors, they keep denying that everything is fine but in the end the result is garbage with glare and only a bit more light output than stock bulbs. Hid bulb's in a halogen reflector simply don't work, end of story.
