Nice pics, and I'm not endorsing ricer bulbs because I loathe them, but optics have a lot to do with the light output too and our stock projectors are one of the biggest obstacles to achieving brightness. That's why I recommend people do HID retrofits for the best results

Hey Ku@, are you running your 100w bulbs in the stock wire harnesses??? How long have you had them, & have you experienced any problem w/ overheating? I put in 80w bulbs a week ago & I'm already nervous that they'll burn out the wires So if you could let me know how you're making out w/ your bulbs I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
-Johnny

HID's are getting more and more affordable. I find them on ebay for under $300. Does anyone know any websites that carry them?
