whats your money situation look like? if youre not too tight on your wallet id just fork out the money for retrofits from BUYHIDs. i think theres supposed to be a group buy coming up soon keep an eye out for that. black retros with 6k hids, hids in fogs, few leds like reverse and license plate lights. youll be good to go. will run ya around $500 on a groupbuy. you wont be disappointed

I just purchased some retrofits with 6K HID's cant wait . Was gonna be "cheap" but I know headlights are something you should pay some good money for and it will come out way better with retros. Excited to get mine in

VVME and DDM tuning, best prices IMO. If you want to be as close to stock as possible. I'd suggest blacked out stocks with 6k hi-lo HID kit
If you want to spend more money, get projectors/retrofits with a 6k hid kit

^ just cause they don't flash you doesn't mean you're not blinding them. I was going to put HID's in my stock fogs and decided not too after reading so much about retrofits and projectors. It's one of those things that's "do it right or don't do it at all" . I know it may seem a little expensive, but I just ordered mine and can't wait for the install

You probably had them aimed at the ground.
Joking aside, fact of the matter is the light just scatters too much without a proper projector setup.
