Default Better lights needed,,, please help

The list is long with all the things I love about my 2012 FX4, but the lights aren't on it.
Need a change but also need advice thru this maze. Xenon, HID, LED, Projector, retrofits vs non...
Confusing!
Not concerned about wiring or replacing entire units just want great performance. Who makes the best kits?
Why one type of bulb over another? Does anyone know the pros and cons of each?

Thanks for the help!!

Well man hids burn less power and produce 3xs as much light due to a ballast. The brands I like are DJM, Xentec and can't remember the other ones. You can go to HIDnation.com or vleds(spent way to much money there). Hopefully this helps

What's the quality like on the hidnation gear? I've been using TRS gear, compared to the kensun kit I got, much better quality, no noise, works every single time.

I just ordered a set from TRS. I have had DDM in my last 3 vehicles and their service sucks along with their products. I am interested in the projectors but I was getting information overload and could not figure out what ones or how to do it. Maybe if we finally get some rain this weekend and I am stuck inside I will research it more.
