Okay guys, I wanna know what upgrades you guys have done with headlights and what you suggest. I'm looking for a set of headlights bright as hell. I want the light glass to look a little black as well.

All you have to do is use a hole saw for clearance in the header panel otherwise its just the same as switching bulbs.

Yeah wiggles hit the nail right on the head.Only thing brighter will be a hid kit but a good set up isn't cheap and some states its illegal to add hids to anything that didn't have them factory.

They would work just fine in those housings, you have to make a little clearance in the header panel for the fan on the back of the bulb.
