Ok been reading a bunch of headlight upgrade threads... Just getting more and more confused. Duals, Quads, Projectors, HID, LED, Ballasts, Resistors, Flicker, Hyperflash, Errors, oh my.
Would like to improve my stock headlights and possibly fogs. Like the look of OEM Projectors, but not really wanting to dump that much money into them plus adapters, etc. Don't want to split open headlights, don't want 14 ballasts/resistors/harnesses hanging all over.
Have what everybody refers to as "quads" I think. Basically looking for the old guy easy to install light upgrade. In my previous truck I just swapped out the bulbs for Silverstars I think it was, less than $100 for both lights. I take it that's not an option anymore.
So it appears the most strait forward swap would be something like TYC or OEM Projectors and RetroShop Projector Harness? But that's still going to be "stock" brightness lighting? Have to further upgrade with LED or HID to improve?
I gather from several of the threads one would not want to put HID bulbs in quad bezels due to lacking cutoff and light scatter issues, but is there an alternative simple bulb upgrade option for quads (and fogs) that provides serviceable light upgrade without breaking the bank? I've used Alfa to enable DRL's so would like to keep that enabled as well.
