Crappy!

Do a retrofit or at least get projectors....

Edit:
Read this....

And, to the OEM HID fanboys... lets try not to get this one locked up by making stupid comments about how it's perfectly safe....

I just bought and installed the Xenon 8000k HID Kit yesterday and love'em. Even if they didn't work out they only cost $72 shipped on Ebay. They are at least twice or even three times brighter than the 8000k HID style bulbs I've had in there for the last year. Nice white to bluish light. The install was very easy too. No tools, no cutting, no nothing, just plug them in and go. The whole install took 20 minutes. Get a set, you won't regret it!!

bi xenon gives you the hi-low beam effect, instead of a single bulb.

if your going to get projectors, you dont need a bi-xenon hid kit. the projectors have 2 separate housings for the highs and lows

1. If you get HID's, get a kit with a realy. Running HIDs on stock wiring with no relay = no no. HID's pull a MASSIVE ammount of power on start up and you DO NOT want that going through the stock wires, they are not made to handle the load.

2. If you get HID's pleaseeee get projectors, I dont care how many people think that their HIDs in stock housings are fine and dont glare. The only reason they say that is beacuse they dont want to accept the fact that they cut corners and have a cheep ass light set-up that blinds the **** out of other drivers no matter how they are aimed.

3. Search, this has topic has been beat to death.
