Trying to sort out headlight/bulb options (2006-2008)

[Sam Handwich]

I'm a bit confused by all the different headlight and bulb options out there, so I made this table. Does it look right?

If so, it seems like the best inexpensive and easy option is HIR high beams and 9011 low beams; If absolute best light is the priority, go with HID retrofit or aftermarket headlights?

You could put HID or LED bulbs in your stock housings (not recommended) but I did it with HID's for a few years, light output better than stock and only cost ~$50 for cheap HID kit on amazon. Aftermarket headlights with the same HID's were worse due to crappy projectors in them. I ended up retrofitting the aftermarket headlights and couldn't be happier. Headlights, all parts for a "bolt in retrofit", including decent bulbs and crappy ballasts and you're at ~$350 for shiny new lenses, great output width, cutoff, brightness etc.
