Retrofit or go home. Im a Big Hella Ballast fan. Phillips or Osram Bulbs. and of course your choice of OEM projectors.

Save everyones eyes and stay away from a kit

well then your a dumbass if you want the most light on the road then a retrofit is the only way to go. why dont you learn how to use the search feature or google.

HID retrofits put 500x more light where you need while not blinding other drivers. all a stupid HID kit does is create glare and create a possibly dangerous situation for other drivers on the road

what??? you make no sence at all, not to be a dick, but if you want to see better then a retro is your only option pnps throw light everywhere, trust me i have them i know.
sure you will see a little better in front of you, but your not putting light out where you need it,
and aiming them done doesnt fix glare, you cant aim glare!.... but if you dead set on a pnp kit, and blinding everyone on the road then pm operatic, i got my kit from him, good kit, nice price, i have had one issue with it and he sent me a new bulb and i got it next day.

check this, this is why pnps suck, a retro would give you much better light output, although, they can be ugly as hell.

^^ you sounded like a nub, everyone knows projectors vs regular headlights are night and day difference.

Anyways, not everyone has the time to retrofit their headlights, that's why we simply just buy a kit and throw it on.

If you have non retrofit/projector headlights the kit doesn't really matter. Some brands will offer warranty or last longer/better quality

haha im a noob ok, no not everyone knows the differences. if your looking for really good light on the road, then a pnp kit isnt for you. a pnp kit puts light where you dont need it. and throws glare all of over the place.
beam pattersns suck, theres going to be hot spots, and then areas with little to no light at all... op if you want a kit pm ill sell you mine.
