UGGGH I hate Deers!
Why exactly is it lame to put a hid kit in non hid housings? If you own a GS that didn't come with hid's as a dealer option you should be stuck with some bs halogen bulbs? That's like saying if your GS didn't come with oem navigation it's lame to buy an aftermarket head unit with navigation. Sounds dumb to me.
OP, the damage wasn't that bad. Being from the South, I have seen much more. The deer here is much larger.
In fact I plan on playing around with my one OEM head light that survied and seeing what I can come up with. I want to do some testing on some cheaper alternitives and post up some threads about them.
I have recently fallen in love with retrofitting so I wanna step my game up on this and see what I can come up with.
Oh ok, I'm running the same setup. My GS didn't come with HID's, but the PO installed an HID kit in it. I just changed the bulbs to a K level that i liked better when I got the car. I personally like going this route better because you're not stuck with the oem 4-4500k HID setup. You can go whatever intensity you want very easily with the aftermarket kit. The only thing i like better about the oem HID setup is the auto leveling. My 1IS had that, I loved it
I plan on doing a retrofit down the road I have been all over the retro fit source website studying and reading. I actually did a retro fit on my boys GSXR with some an ebay kit that he bought a few months back that came out pretty good, I'll see if I have pics and post them up.

No, you can do the right thing and retrofit it. I am one of the people who think it is lame and awful looking, especially with the glare. I woud rather run HIR bulds vs. using a china kit.

Yes it will take it up that extra notch once I retro them but I am very picky about my mods and I cant just go the regular route when I do upgrade them. So I have some things in the works but after the holiday season.
Search the site for different options. I personally think the best looking option is using the M45 projectors. I like the green hue that matches with the hue on my headlights. I can easily source the parts, I don't know anyone in this area who can do this for me. So for now, I'm still riding around with ugly halogen lol. I think I may upgrade to HIR bulbs for the time beings. The light is slightly more white and the lumens are out of the world.

The retrofit source is probably where I will be getting my parts from just because of the ease of getting a complete kit and then getting the bracket adaptors from luxarymods.
