Replacing Stock '07 headlights.

Since moving to Whidbey Island I've had issues with the lack of light from the stock headlamps. In Seattle streets dark and wet I get no help from the stocks
My PIAA driving lights are great for rural but I don't want to run those all the time in the city.

Any suggestions easily installed?

[MENTION=11280]alaskaman[/MENTION] I'm not really sure to recommend based on what you've provided. You could go a multitude of different directions from just trying different bulbs to a true custom retrofit. I'm still looking into what I want to do for my headlights all together.

I say first off your best bet is to try just changing the bulbs for higher quality ones, maybe even do the H9 upgrade or LED bulbs are a new move now. You could also follow that up with a Crystal View Headlight Restore kit , it's the best restorer around in my opinion given it comes with a sealant and most other kits dont.

If that wouldn't satisfy you, you could also drop in Xenon Depot's HID KIT , I've debated this and havn't pulled the trigger, but the reviews I've read have been great! Ideally you're just changing the bulbs sorta, and again I'd use the Crystal View restorer when finished.

There is also the option of entirely new headlights. I think this is a very debatable topic as alot of people think aftermarket headlights are not as good as OEM quality, but they still work for a lot of people. I personally am thinking about picking up these since I want halos and don't want to do the work of an install CCFL Halo Projector Headlights

Beyond expanding on those basic options, I'm not the best to give advice. You next move is more of a retro fit, and I'd recommend The Retrofit Source , and asking them what they suggest (like which projectors to drop in best for your needs)

Again everything I've listed has been discussed already on this forum and you can search for more info

Xenon Depot’s 4300K HIDs might still be the most valuable (most frequently utilized) mod I’ve done on my 2008. Worth every cent.
 
do a full retrofit. im in the process of getting my original retrofit replace with another one. s2k projectors and new oem housing.

once you spend that amount of money on new lights, you thank yourself that it was worth it.
