the stock headlights are fine. hids are lame and for blinding oncoming traffic. do it properly and do a projector retrofit.
either yourself or get someone to do it for you, pm thebarber he has kits and can do it for you.

im going to do a projecter retrofit on a car thats 3 weeks old????and theres barely any aftermarket support on this let alone anyone who actual has done anything to the new model? naw bro....
HIDS are not only for looks but also better visibility while driving. im not one of those people who put the ridiculous looking purple or blueish color ones on either. im one for more of an OEM looking white colored ones.

the funny thing is, the whiter you go the brighter they are. another lost cause.

brighter the better more visibility... we have some very dark areas in south florida, and i feel with better lighting there is no reason any accidents to occur.

as for everyone thanks for replying.. thats what i wanted to see. i went ahead and ordered with DDMtuning. this is my probably 3rd set i've purchased with them. prices arent ridiculous like some people charge for HIDS, and i got the size i needed H4 with a 55 watt slim ballast. cant wait to get them
