I would say projectors if you wanna spend a whole lot of money. Halogens if you just want better light output. I have projectors

I'm in the process of doing some retrofits, I have a couple spare heads waiting for a buyer, I'm currently doing mine for my fx4 and up next I have a 3500 dodge I have to do, I could build you a set much sooner than 2-3-4 months. PM if interested.


Also I will open a new thread sometime this weekend with some pics of my current build. Then you can decide for yourself if I'm worthy lol.
