Except honestly most ricers get the highest kelvin rating possible and it makes it dangerous to drive at night and especially at night in the rain. I dont care for the look of HID's. Everyone has them now. Now with Sylvanias ZXE lights, the halogen bulb is almost as good vision wise down road and has an appeasing light color. I like the stock lights and with the 9007 conversion the output is plenty enough. I might upgrade to a 1pc headlight but ill always stick with halogens.

The reflectors do suck but the aftermarket 1pc I want arent any better, honestly probably worse pattern. A cheapness nissan had to do in the 4th gen to keep those prices down *sigh*

The R34's are worse. Worse beam pattern and output. Don't bother with those if you're not going to do a retro.

I would say projection lense are #1 but using a bi-xexon buld in a halogen halogen has no light scatter.....only aimed down til you hit the hi-beams then you'll burn out those retinas of any one willing to stare at the light!

I like the stock lights. I've taken good car of them and they are still crystal clear. I will never buy a headlight that isn't glass. They just don't look right after a yr or so. Scratched up and cloudy already. I think Ill just go with these and maybe just adding some new weather stripping to my corners to close that ugly black gap. The 1pc im sure will gap on the top if not the bottom as well, they cant fit well for so cheap you know? Either way I guess headlights are a personal thing and there is no right or wrong persay....except for the pink HID's lol. 32k I believe.

Here's a thought. Buy the Glass headlights. Remove the lenses from your stock lights and put the glass lenses on the stock headlight. Then you get glass lenses with an OEM reflector.
Although the best option: projectors retro with glass lenses + HID's. Don't get HID's with the retarded 30000k output. Stick between 5000-6000K and you get the most visible light on the road. With projectors you'll see much much more without blinding everyone. I just recently finished my retro and it's literally night/day difference over my stock housing with xenon halogen.
These were taken while it was raining. when I had the projectors+HID's I couldn't even see the road when it was wet at night time.

Did you finally get around to painting your hood the right way? Catch the guys that hit you?

). No, I never caught them. Probably never will. What comes around goes around though.
