Headlights and lenses
I just tried ANOTHER set of aftermarket bulbs and still feel the headlights suck. As mentioned by others before, it must be the lenses themselves that are poor. The way our lights are made we could easily swap the lenses from another car if they would fit.
Anybody have the resources to figure out of we can make another car's glass and lense fit in ours? I am going to start looking at other cars on the street more closely...

I am looking for cheaper; I know the HID kits are about $500 and that is steep too.

Hey SPOautos go to ebay they have Phillips HID kits for a little less than $500. Friend has exact same kit for the car on his civic (it uses H4 bulb I think) and it works great so far.

the phillips kits on ebay are retrofit h4 kits, they should not be very difficult to install properly. those newer kits are pretty much "plug and play." before the older hid kits might have caught fire easily by poor setup because they required a little bit of fabrication to get the different type of bulb to fit the housing, but the phillips kits are already fitted for the certain type of bulb.
