last time i remember seeing them for somewhere around 80 bucks… def cheap to make your own but it is convenient having it built, wired and ready to go

saving up for jw speakers. until then, after reading this thread i went with sylvania silverstar ultras to replace my stock bulbs. $39.99 at the local auto store, could've gotten them cheaper online by a few bucks but wanted to get them in this past weekend. they're whiter and definitely brighter than my stock bulbs (stock bulbs were 5 months old). vision is much better on a pitch black road, wider and further beam. but on a lit highway or road with street lights i can barely tell they're on.
will get some pics up of them next to the wifes GC with HIDs. it's sad how awful they look next to those and you can't even compare the performance. but for anyone wondering, in my opinion for $39 they're an OK upgrade. have some Putco ion spark whites coming in the mail for the fogs. will update once those are in.
sorry i don't have any before/after with the stock headlights. you can see they're a little whiter than the stock fogs in the wall shot below.

I'm sure this question has been asked a thousand times, but i still haven't read a thread that has sold me on a solution.
I need to upgrade my crappy stock headlights and want the best upgrade for the money. I am looking for a significant improvement in lighting. Please post your votes and recommendations.
Thanks in advance.

While Im waiting to see if Bustabiz can make the trucklite deal official im still doing some reasearch. Has anyone ran ROR's Hellfire light setup? Seems to have some pretty decent reviews.
I have to do something soon as i am painfully reminded how much the factory headlights suck every time i drive home in the dark!

Being married for 30 years I knew this was the moment to go for the light upgrade! I put in Delta Quad Bar xenon headlamp kit

So this is no shit worth the $300 its going to cost? I can be in a set of truck lites for $455.
I have been spinning my ass around in a circle trying to figure out what to get.
I am willing to pay the trucklite price, but I DON'T want to be disappointed with them. All of this non-fitting, hotspot, and flickering has me really concerned.
AND then to complicate matters you really need to match the fog lights too.
I was going to buy trucklites and Rigid kit from Northridge, but shawn told me the rigids wont worth with the stock fog lamp switched so I am now stuck again.
Why does it have to be so damn hard to figure out what to buy for this misery wagon???
