Ok, I'm not about to drop hundreds on HID's but does anyone have any reccomendation for the brightest headlight/driving lights/foglights out there? Got a little weight reduction project while I'm waiting for that pesky header.

I'd like to remove the entire pop-up mechanism and shine some light directly through that lower lense. Rumor has it you can drop 23pounds off the front end from this. With the smaller area and the extra plastic to diffuse the light I'd like to go as bright as possible though.

I'd rather a more informed opinion than the displays at Autozone though.

*cross posting on CII as well*

I saw a guy on dsm talk did something like this. I think he ended up using walmart lights and they were bright enough.

Sylvania Silver stars are pretty bright, a guy I work with at advance auto has them in his Blazer. you can also buy HID-alike bulbs that replace the factory bulbs for around $25-$45, depending on the vehicle. you can get those at any import speed shop...aka AIP, Mystical Speed, Extreme sounds, ect.

A buddy of mine did it w/some Walmart fog lights....definitely NOT bright enough. You can see them just fine when he's driving at you, but they don't light up the road _at all_ when driving at night.

I visited the CATZ page and it seems that they dont make the HID system anymore. They have a recall on all hid systems. Does anyone know where these are still availabe and how much they cost?
