I'm quite happy with my much cheaper Silverstar bulbs in the headlights and Silverstar Ultra bulbs in the driving lights.

+2. I bought my H13's new off ebay for $16 shipped and my 9006's for $15 shipped. Can't go wrong for $31, especially since I have my factory housings. I didn't want to spend the extra $250 for projector housings just yet. Besides, you get what you pay for with HID's. A quality set will run $300 for just the headlights plus the cost of Projector housings. Then you still have halogens in your foggs...

HID's are plug'n'play but you do have to run a power wire and mount the ballast controllers. You will need a Cancellor kit for cheapo HID's or they will flicker. (Chrysler canbus issue)
Also, running HID's in factory housings is extremely blinding for oncoming traffic. The proper way is to install Projectors housings to tun HID's in. They have a perfect cut-off line so you aren't blinding oncoming traffic.

HID vs halogen. HID all the way. It just costs a chunk of change to play PROPERLY!

People will argue this non-stop.. Doesn't make it right nor does it over ride the proof in the pudding!
