HID's with the D2 GLASS headlight cant be beat. If you're using the 03-04 headlights they are plastic and will fade soon due to the UV.

HID’s are ok, but 4300k range. Anything above 5-6k starts looking blue!

If you're mounting HIDs in anything but a projector housing, you're a huge *******. If you have done a proper retrofit with projectors, then carry-on.

Yep I’ve never liked the result of HID kits that slap into normal housings. HUGE glare & cut-off = what cut-off. When I tried the LED 9003 kits I did my research, the I went with a 25.00 set on Ebay. They have no LED’s on the tip (it’s solid) then it has 4 LED’s around it. 2 for Low & 2 for High. They place the light in nearly the exact pattern as the normal Halogen Bulb. Now this is the 360 pattern style kits. The one’s with LED’s on the tip, and not claiming 360 pattern of light are just as bad as the HID in the stock housing.

I didn’t have to do any serious modifications (except trim the rubber boot down a bit so I could lock in the LED bulb. I could swap back over to my PIAA’s or IPF bulbs in near minutes.
