Spyder headlight problems

I joined the Forum because of my dissatisfaction with my overpriced Smoked Spyders. I can't believe this company is still in business after reading all this. The lights seemed iffy on the highways of Fayetteville but when I went up to the mountains... well, that is when things got a little hairy. If it weren't for my stock fog lights I may have been sleeping on the side of the road. I think I may have to put the stocks back on and introduce my shotgun to the Spyders (I wouldn't be able to sleep right selling them to anybody).

Yep, blatant false advertising. I've had to spend another couple hundred to convert my low beams to HID. That's helped, but the high beams are still horrible, straight up dangerous, and I'm not spending another $200-$300 to convert those to HID too. I've probably put well over $600 into these now and I'm about to yank them and put the stocks back in too. The fact that they say they improve stock lighting is a disgrace. They shouldn't be in business. Wish I had checked this forum out more before buying.

So after you spent $$$ on those spyders you went out and bought retrofits? I finally found somebody more determined than me to change out the stock heads! So you are happy with the retros? Better lighting than stock? Can you paste a photo here to see?
I did the same, did my retrofits myself

All it's been a long time since discussing the spyder headlights. I'be saved up and am going to yank them and retrofit my stocks. Recommendations on retrofitters? I've heard the following are good but thought I'd seek some opinions:
Lightwerks
yuke's retrofits
Saleen
Raptor retrofit
