For best results, you should be doing a retrofit. I am tempted to buy a PNP kit, but i just can't bring myself to do it.

I have a set of PIA Bulbs that I will probably put in for now! And maybe down the road will do a retrofit with some TL projectors!

I have a PNP kit in my CRV. It looks pretty good, I would imagine that a retrofit would look much better, but this was cheap and I like it. My friends that have retrofits say it looks really good as well. I guess I am ignorant and inconsiderate toward other drivers (if it is really that bad).

Yeah, it's really f'ing annoying when someone has lame HID bulbs that blind everyone. That is why nicer cars have quality projector housings with a cutoff pattern so it's not a huge distraction to other drivers.

A retrofit is the only right way to do it.
