So, many of you may know that I installed HID's into a projector housing so i can see the horribly worn-off painted lines on the road, without realizing that was a mistake (I learn everything the hard way). So, I was looking around for a full headlight assembly with projectors that could take an HID... and... not many options.
The only headlight assembly with a projector that looks half-way decent is this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171812123210
This issue is, I don't even think it contains a projector of good enough quality to take HID's, AND, ebay projectors tend to be hit-or-miss, AND this one has no reviews.
So here is my non-HID alternative:

Honestly, I seem prefer the non-hid alternative in some ways, as I can do a retrofit on them later, and it will look nicer than the ebay projector headlight. I just hope that the OSRAM bulbs would provide enough output.
The roads in my area are horrible, and I mean HORRIBLE! With my stock headlights I couldn't see the lines in the road past 10ft, and all the road reflectors broke off, and don't even exist on our highway anymore. So, I need an affordable fast solution, and currently, my HID's in a reflector housing are just a band-aid fix.
I might just go with the non-HID route, as it's $100, unless someone says my other option is worth the extra $50.
Edit:
Oups, probably should have posted this in one of the tech sections.
