Default Headlight Upgrades?

I want to upgrade the crappy stock headlights. What would be the better thing to do? Should I just change out the bulbs (Sylvanias?) or get new assemblies (ones like Delta)? Which is worth the money? How much brighter will they be?

I'm not being much help but these are nice just really expensive.

I personally would go with the Delta conversion as I don't care for the clear lens look of the factory lights.

As mentioned, the IPF's are a great upgrade that will provide substanitally more light than stock and in a nice pattern...



Here's a write-up I did for them:

If you have the money, I might recommend a set of Truck-Lite LED's instead. They are expensive but, you get what you pay for...

I took the easy route and just swapped the headlight and foglight bulbs with Silverstars. They only have 1/3 the life, but they are bright & certainly do the job.

The Truck-lites are way too expensive. How do the Deltas compare to the IPF as far as brightness, ease of installation, and bulb life?

I dunno if this will affect the brightness, but I plan on putting the "angry eyes" headlight trim over the headlights.

My buddy has the delta kit... i have the ipf kit. They are pretty much the same except the pattern is better on the ipf. thats why i got them. I didnt dig the bulbs the kit came with so i changed out the bulb to a less "blue" one. The installation is the exact same and the bulbs it all depends...
