Default HID Kit for Stock Headlight???

Anyone have any HID kits in mind for the stock headlight assembly? I was thinking of just doing the fog lamp setup but I like to keep it simple and stock looking

Thanks for your input

It's not there.

Not sure if this helps, but I just installed the PIAA H13 Extreme White bulbs. They are a great improvement and were $53.00 shipped on ebay.

yeah, it does help. thanks for your input. i really want to go HID either fogs or headlight conversion. just don't know which route. i think the headlight conversion would be the cleanest look with the light i need for the dark desert night runs

Convert the headlights to something acceptable and do oncoming cars the favor. I'm sure you've seen the glare from the ricers and their "HID" headlights.

HIDs only give that glare when the instal is not done correctly. If you put an HID bulb setup in the stock housings, they will give that nasty glare. If you were to go all out and swap the housing with a projector housing though, it will be like a car with factory HIDs, where it has that crisp line on the top of the beam pattern.

HID's will not give you a nasty glare when you use the stock housings and ADJUST them correctly! I don't get flashed at all and I have them installed for 8 months now. I paid $120 for the Bi-xenon kit (hi\low) and $88 for the fogs (both prices have shipping included).

I am about to buy some hi/lo and fog lights for mine. So far I found for both about 136.00 total.
