For those of looking for upgrades to our Halogen lights

After trying a few different bulbs and not being happy with output, I went ahead and purchased a plug in HID kit from HeadlightExperts.com. I am pleased to say that this kit was impressive for the price. I know that it is not recommended to run HID bulbs in non projectors, but at this point I could not afford a retro-fit or even a set of very expensive OEM HID headlights. I have never been flashed from oncoming vehicles for blinding lights.
I went with the 5000k kit with 35w ballast and optional capacitors (removes any warning lights from car). Here are a few pics, I may still need to adjust the beam but overall very happy with my purchase.

^^ You will need to code to use LED bulbs in the car. Look up coding on these forums and you will find tons of thread on how to run LED bulbs without error codes.
