The light output from the projectors is amazing. Even with stock bulbs, the light is focused 1000x better than the stock headlights. I'd recommend getting the projectors, then if you need more light you can upgrade to HID's in the projectors.

One thing to watch out for: there are two designs of projectors available for our car. The ones posted above are form Spyder Auto. They're the ones you want. The other ones are H3 projectors, and according to the few people who have them light output is the same as or worse than the stock headlights. You can identify these by the 6 LED's in the corner.
