Pics of Stock Headlights with upgraded HID Kit?
 
Does anyone have and pics of the stock headlights (refinished or not) with an upgraded HID kit? Does it look basicly the same? I really dont have cash for headlights that i dont need.

upstates got some...

it looks a lot brighter and puts out way more light, but not as clean as projectors

You may not need them, but I think you want them. HID's are pretty sweet. I'll try to get a pic of my lights to post soon. I can see my car from where I'm sitting, but I'm way too lazy to make this happen right now.

It definitely does not look the same though. The lights are much brighter and give the front of your car a good look. I'd spend 100 bucks all over again for mine without investing any thought at all.

So your saying that Stock Headlights and HID together are acutally brighter?

no the 98 doesn't have the projector lights so it won't look as nice and bright as projector headlights. but overall, it'll be much better than the halogens. i say get the HIDs because you can reuse them on projector lights

Don't use HIDs with non projector housings. You'll blind everyone and your beam pattern will be crazy.
