Headlight lens replacement
I know that just about everyone hates the stock headlights, so why aren't there more threads about changing out the headlight lenses? I want to keep the pop-ups, and I don't want to spend a grand on the knightsports kit with damn foglights as headlights. There's a bunch of cheapo ones on Ebay, but naturally I don't trust them. Unless anyone's tried these and likes them, I'm still looking. Isn't there just a clear cover to get somewhere?

Get the E-code/Euro headlights for a Left-hand drive FD.
I installed them and the pattern and optics are so much better than the crappy DOT ones.
I got mine from Corksport and aligned them to specs here:

The best safety $500 I've ever spent.

Simple things that make a huge difference...and cost next to nothing
- Good grounding: I noticed substantial difference in lighting when I added some grounding and cleaned the contacts on the back of the dash
- Run a relay directly from battery to lights
- Use the silvania sivestars...all other bulbs other than HID are just a waste of money
You will be surprised by the difference

Also, AIM the lights well! The headlights on my car bigtime sucked when I bought the car - they were aimed VERY low, basically pointing straight down at the road and crosseyed. Brought them up properly and straightened them out, had a HUGE difference in light quality. I'm even running the STOCK bulbs in the car - as in the ones they put in the car in Hiroshima .
I'm interested in getting the Euro housings at some point, though . I'd LOVE to get HID as well.

Also, DO NOT place HID bulbs in housings/reflectors NOT originally designed for HID:
