I know the right way is to use projectors, but I can't justify $200 for the headlights that I don't necessarily need, since the car is just a daily driver. Sure, if the stock headlights were worth more to sell used, I'd do it- but for getting at most $40 for my mint depo headlights, it's not worth the extra money to step up to projectors.
So, this question is just for the people running hids in their stock headlights- is the light output noticeably better from a 35w kit? Because I know the factory headlights don't have a good beam, so more light may not mean better visibility.
