Halogen to OEM HID conversion worth the $$$???

Those that have had these trucks with both the halogen headlights and the newer HID headlights, what are your thoughts on how big of an improvement the HIDs are? I'm thinking about upgrading, but want to hear some opinions from those who have had both first.
Looking at Stage 3 offerings, it appears that I'm looking at $1,000 for stock OEM HIDs, or $1,500 for stock housings upgraded to Hella EVOX-R projectors.

Or - for less than half the cost you could always open, paint, retro, and seal yer existing heads with FX-R's or RX-350's, XB ballasts and yer choice of D2S bulb. Superior output for less . Just add yer labour, lol.

Note sure if you guys know but TRS gets their lights from TLF, they are the same used/refurbished lights Stage III was getting. I may be wrong but I believe Stage III stopped dealing with TLF.
If you want brand new lights we have them available here - http://www.raptorretrofit.com/2014-f150-oem-hid-s/ we can also perform the EvoX 50w upgrade for a huge increase in performance.

My HIDs are from raptor retrofit and they did not have a scratch on them. i have looked at projectors on a lot of other trucks and I don't think any of them compare to the f150. I like the '14s better than the '15s.

Hell yeah!!!! Literally night and day difference. Not just in ability to see in the dark but even during the day they just look badass. Have had mine converted for better than a year now.
If I had to give up every mod I've done except 1, I would even give up my tuner to keep the HID's.
