Question Projector Headlight Qs?

Thinking of getting Projector headlights...
Besides the cosmetics of how they look on the car what
are the pros and cons of them? Do they light up the road better? If so by how much?

ya, I would NOT use projectors without hids in them. The light output with halogen bulbs absolutly sucks. Get hids, and take your time aiming them. They're actually pretty nice once you get them aimed right.

Pros: no glare that blinds other driver, can use HIDs safely with them, better spread out light
Cons: build quality with non retrofits isn't great, but is tolerable, light output with halogen bulbs suck, difficult to aim.
