Agree. HID are really dazzling, even modern cars that come equipped with them dazzle me.

Headlights just keep getting brighter :cry:

<yawn>

If you waht to do old school bulbs, then go buy high power (ie: 110W/80W H4) bulbs, runing the extra wiring / relays and stop fannying around.

If you are lucky enough not to have a face lift model, then it's a 110W/80W H4 and a 130W H1 bulb FTW !!

Or HID's

:D
