Default better headlight options

OK so I can't afford OE HID's, even working for Ford. I can't afford the HID retrofit's done by someone skilled at the process. I don't feel confident in my ability to do it myself. I've tried the HID conversion bulbs but I wasnt impressed by the light produced and I could see how badly I was blinding others so they came out after the first night.

Do I have any other options that are actually worthwhile? Or am I stuck with what I have until I can afford OE's or Retro's?

LED heads. They are designed for a halogen reflector housing throw the same pattern and are brighter there is a whole thread on them.

These are good options. Tremendously brighter than stock halogen or Silverstar bulbs.

F150LEDS also has matching fog led's.

I just don't want to blind other drivers like everyone running aftermarket HID's do... I don't want to be "that guy". I am really interested in these lights.
