Just be warned that the light output isn't so great on those.

Oh I know, I put all silverstar ultras in, been thinking about putting projectors in my fog lights and/or doing a modification in the wiring so that when my highs are on, the lows are still on also.

IMO even HID's aren't a great option- the problem is the beam pattern. Instead of evenly spreading the light across your whole driving area, the bulk of the light is focused into two narrow strips (hence the two flash light comment). HID's help a little by increasing the brightness all around- but you still have a massive lack of lighting on anything that's not centered to the headlight.

Personally, I think the best option would be to retrofit some HID projectors in there- that way you would have the nice look and excellent light output.

You mean like the "quad head/tail light" over the NAIOA board?
If so, i want to see that done in ours.
So you go first! hehe

That's the guide, but I don't feel like messing with my electricals right now :P

Maybe when I start working on my interior and have a second car.
