Personally Id go with Innovative 55w 6k ( $60 on Amazon) with new housings. I have Kensuns 35w 6k and they're alright major improvement over stock but the Innovative are like collapsed suns in your housings definitely worth it, my girlfriend has them in her dodge and im jealous over how much brighter they are.

Do a proper projector retrofit or don't do it at all! If you don't, you will be just another one of the pricks with blinding headlights to on coming traffic who deserves to have the lights busted out.

Concur.

If you don't want to use projector/optics, check out LED Trucklites, instead. They are proper.

+50 to everyone saying do it right. Blinding people with HIDs in a reflector housing is a good way to piss off everyone, and automatically denies entry into Heaven if you believe in the place. If I saw a mob of people going after someone who just shoved HIDs in the stock lenses, I'd make sure I got the first swing.

When I get my next job (SHAMELESS PLUG HERE - heh-heh), I definitely will upgrade to Trucklites LED.

If you get the retrofit headlights, I would go with DDMTuning.com, they offer a lifetime warranty on their products, and are about $52 shipped with 55watt bulbs. check em out.
