HID Projectors or JW SPeakers LEDs.
Look them up and decide for yourself. I have HID Projectors in mine and can't say enough about them. They outshine the TruckLite Gen II's by quite a bit, too. TruckLite's are good, too, but weren't what I was looking for.
So bottom line is this:
If you're looking for HID's, then HID Projectors are the way to go. Can be custom built, or a DIY kit.
If you want the Billy Badass of lights, the JW Speaker LEDs are where it's at. Be prepared to pay $700-$800 for them, too, though.
Just for reference....this is my rig w/ HID Projectors.

I recommend ©2012 HID Projectors. I do not have a sent myself (yet), but seen them in action and it is what I am going to do. Plus can you have options on how they look, paint colors, etc.
Since you live in St. Louis (where you do get snow/freezing rain), don't forget about driving in cold weather. To my knowledge, the LED lights do not get hot enough to melt snow/ice off the headlamps which can cause some issues driving. I have seen the JWs in person and they work amazing, but at that time I forgot to ask the guy if he had issues in the snow (living in Colorado)

Thanks. I really need to hook up the CCFL halos so the entire housing is lit up, rather than just the projector. Just need to take a day to give my rig some TLC. Needs those hooked up, needs my license plate light installed, need to install my PSC tramp stamp, needs a state inspection to make it street legal in TX, needs the diff fluid changed, and need to fix my CB issues, which entails pulling apart the Tuffy overhead console to get to the radio. I really just need to run a whole new coax cable to fix my high SWR readings. One of these weekends.....
OP...sorry for the slight threadjack....
