it all depend on what you call crappy, I have the projectors that have the 3 leds to the middle, the ligth out put is WAY better than stock, on low beam. The issue's i have with mine are, you cant adust them (or either i dont know how), the high beams are bright but shine to a spotlight type beam ( the beam paths meets ) and my dayum halos went out lol, other than that i like em'. I dont have hid's but im soon gunna throw in some slyvania silver stars.
