Question low cost lighting upgrade?

Ok I don't see my self dropping $1k+ bucks on a head light kit any time soon. Is there a bughter bult for the stock assembly. The stock ones are not very bright to me.

My lighting is crap too.... I even have the fogs. Check out PIAAs bulbs, I wouldn't mind getting a pair. But what I really would like to get is a set of real HID bulbs. I think the best price I've seen on those is like $400.

I have the PIAAs Plasma white bulbs, they work great and are 10 times brighter then stock. Kinda pricey though, it's about $90.

I've found that APC's Super White H4 bulbs are whiter & brighter than any of PIAA's bulbs plus costs about half as much.

Make the HID conversion for $450.00. The bulbs last more than 10x longer then regular halogen and brighter than any wannabe "super white" or "ultra white" or "premium white" bulbs.

I replaced my stock bulbs w/ PIAA Super White 80/80Halogen (Platinum series) and added the 1000x (platinum Series) 55w Halogen Fog lights. This combo cost about 350.00 and blows away the stock-set-up. I fell alot safer driving at night w/ this set-up. Also looks great!!!G...P.S. These particular fog lights are very close to stock ones in size and shape if you want to keep the stock look!G....
