Default Lighting Options/Opinions/Ideas

I've come to the conclusion that the stock lighting of an EG sucks. If anyone has pictures of the following lighting systems vs. stock lighting I'd greatly appreciate you posting them up:

Denji Projectors (150) - Added theft magnet. Relatively expensive.
Sylvania Silverstars (30) - Can bulbs really help THAT much?
Generic Fog Lights (20-50) - Cheap, best bang for the buck IMO.
OEM Fog Lights (?) - Stock looking, rather expensive for probably the same increase in lighting as a generic set.

Those really seem to be my only reasonably priced options right now, if I'm leaving som,ething out please post it up!

You would probably see the most results from a pair of quality DRIVING lights from Catz, PIAA, etc. Whether you care about putting them in your front bumper is another story.

I like HIDs also, but the beam pattern is pretty crappy, a lot better than stock, but not compareable to OEM HID headlights at all.

I thought about some decent driving lights, rather expensive and rather fugly. Anyone else? I'd really rather buy other stuff with my money other than lighting crap, so I'd really like to stick to the Silverstars or cheapo fogs.

I put some Hella FF75 driving lights in, those help out some, but I put them in the sides where the fako air ducts are at. I think they would have been far more effective, though mounted somewhere near the center, which IMO seems to be where the stock lense doesn't allow adequate projection of light.

BTW I also have Silverstars, and they also help, but again, you're dealing with poor light dispursement with the stock lenses.

If money isn't an object, HID's in projector lenses would be the best upgrade IMHO.
