Oh well, It IS your problem that it makes you look like a poor-bastard that can't afford the proper lighting/housing.

I'm sure you wouldn't like it if someone did that to you.

Sigh. Oh Well.

this.

sorry, but the stockers look better than any projector out there. They all look like ebay trash to me. I also don't see any justification in spending 300+ for a set of retros. I've got more boost related items to tend to.

Gasp..

HIDs in OUR headlights are not bad at all. Little to no glare to oncoming traffic. Again.. people seem to forget that cameras will OVER expose lighting unless you know what your doing. Its an argument i will battle till the end Is it proper to have HIDs in stock headlights? no.. Is it legal? Depends on who you ask..but its not bad as other claim it to be. Its no where NEAR how bad most cars are. Now.. HIDs in my stock bugeye lights.. OMFG my camera phone LED pointed foward will put more light on the ground.

I will admit you guys make some damn good looking headlights, but they are extremely expensive (my .02 anyway) but they do look damn good.

side note: I LOVE the way Nate's looks, the demon eye with the amber instead of red looks amazing. I'd buy them right now.

Here is my setup. BuyHID's retrofit kit with body colour matched housings. I believe they are 5000K. I just can't remember. They are either 5000K or 6000K.

I honestly dont see whats wrong with them in your stock housing...yes it scatters light, yes they are annoying...but if you ARE respectful and aim them down I dont see the problem...I would retrofit if I had the funds...but I currently do not so I wont be doing that...no hate (

Stock housing with stock bulbs glares too muc for me, just gets worse with hids. Plus the light pattern is terrible. But then again I'm really picky with lights. I've gt oem projectors with the best set of bulbs on the market and they still suck. I'm probably on a take a week off work one day in the summer and so a real retrofit on my car.
