Improving headlights
Not sure if this is the right place to post this.
I wanted to upgrade my headlights to those super bright headlights that burn at 5500k. I wanted to know if there is a good site that sells the kits at fair price. I know many people have upgraded them, so if you could give me your insight on what you think I should get that would be greatly appreciated. Those stock halogens just aren't good enough for dark roads

Re: Improving headlights
I bought my 6000K HID kit from Tom (svxfiles) 4 years ago and have been exceedingly happy with it. It was $200, but very well spent.

Re: Improving headlights
Ddmtuning has budget oriented kits. There is a thread with some various options with some installation pictures. I think there is a link to it in my signature.

However, when I turn on my 5000K fog lights, I get flashed more frequently; not because of glare but drivers assume that four headlights mean my high beams are on. A quick flash of my PIAA 120W Super Extreme high beams set them straight! And in bad snowy winter weather, driving at night with only fog lights (headlights disconnected) I never get flashed.
