Default Need Help On Upgrading My Headlights

Hello everyone. I would now like for my headlights to be brighter. I never had a problem with them before, but during the blackout caused by Ike I had a hard time seeing in the rain. So what is a good choice of bulb/brand, HID, or should I go with Projectors? Help me out guys. Thanks.

IF you want high quality go with PIAA one step down would be sylvannia which is also good..
Get the bulbs that are like 70 bucks on modern.

HID's in projectors aren't illegal. It's the HID's in halogen reflectors that's illegal, well not litterally but should be. Most aftermarket headlights that have projectors are meant for halogen lights not HID's. If you seriously want to improve your night vision, I would seriously consider getting a retrofit. All OEM equipment Ballasts (of your choosing) D2S bulbs, Projectors (of your choosing). Check out this link and do some reading. HIDplanet
