Inform yourself as to the proper ways to increase usable light output.

Don't be an asshat and throw HID junk in the stock housings.
Yes please, I wish I could repeat this all over this forum and and on every other forum on the internet.

I run drop in HIDs from DDMTuning in all of my vehicles. They last a long time and work well with nice color match!

I do recommend that you retrofit some projectors if you do any city driving. I live out in the sticks and when I do go downtown or whatnot, I do not get flashed. However, I do notice that there is enough glare from my headlights to be "annoying" , but not "dangerous" like some other drop in kits.

I get flashed maybe once every 3 months or so. I use Hella E-Code lens that are aimed lower than stock. I plan on either going back to Halogen or attacking a retrofit project myself if I ever move to a suburban area later on.

Here's a pic - notice not much glare from that side. However, on the other side it is glaring due to the high right cutoff on my lens.
