First of all you could support your YW vendor and buy NOKYA bulbs and harnesses from me.

i'm just gonna stick to increasing my output through halogen then as I just can't be putting hundreds of dollars in lighting.
What would cost hundreds of dollars? Even my projector retrofit kit is less than $200.

Easy there garm. Your harness, I've considered.... when I'm ready to upgrade the harnesses but I may want to do a full harness upgrade with relays etc. like Daniel sterns'(the lighting guru). I'm just not there yet though. Also, I'm just not sure of a brand such as Nokya and especially not keen of colored bulbs.

I'm not saying that your HID kit and projectors are too expensive... but for now I may be happy with a slight improvement from some Osram Silverstars that I've found for less than $20/pair. As long as I get at least a year out of them ill be doing good.

Besides, money spent on a full HID retrofit could instead be used on springs which I will be ordering from MI, plus something else possibly.

I like that you've done your research and such, at least regarding Daniel Stern. The guy's a bona fide guru for lights. Anyway, the lifespan on Osrams should last you in the neighborhood of a year if you don't drive with your lights on in the daytime. Unfortunately, lifespan is something the Osrams and Sylvania SS's are not known for.

As far as Nokya bulbs, I have 80W Yellows in my foglights since we get a lot of fog here on the Georgia coast. I've had them in since February '10 and they've been great so far. They do run a little warm, but I've been otherwise impressed so far. YMMV.
