Exactly the same thing I did too. JJ retros are 100% better. Well worth the money.

Personally for looks, I'm saving up for jj's lights. They look badass and you won't have other drivers pissed at you for dropping hids in non projector housings.

I can provide you guys with everything.

I haven't met a halogen bulb that made me go "hmm", only "lame". Halogens, bleh.

I am running Recon Diamond White XENON Headlight Bulbs - Color Temperature 4,600 Kelvin. They are a lot better than stock. I was able to get all three sets for $100 shipped.

So you're saying instead of $120 bulbs, get 700 headlights, then some HID's to fit em with? If only I had the extra 800 dollars...

You don't need 7-800 to get a set of lights. Do some sets go that high? Sure, with some paint, new headlight housings, 55W sets, matching fogs, etc - it all adds up!

In the end, I think Matt was saying that spending $120 for bulbs is not the best bang for your buck. Sure, the buck will be higher to get a full retrofitted set, but in the end the light output will flat out blow away any halogen setup.
