Headlights
I was wondering what kind of lights people are using in their headlights?
I had some PIAA extreme white bulbs and they blew out within a year. I have the stock slyvanias in right now.
If I get HIDs can I adjust them?

Well if I put HIDs in without a projector I will blind people so I was wondering if I can adjust how high they will shine. I like the look of HIDs but I dont want to blind people

you can only adjust them to an extent... the extraneous glare created from the improper reflector housing is still going to be inevitable
you can slightly reduce it by doing a small adjustment to point it downwards a bit... but you can still only do so much

I'll just say this. When I had some cool blue 9006 bulbs that I bought from Wal Mart for $20 I got lights flashed at me all the time from passing cars. After I put some 8000K hid's in I haven't been flashed a single time no BS.

I would love to retrofit but dont have that kind of money yet or time.
I was thinking about getting HIDs but I will be getting the 3000K for the fogs and maybe 6000k in headlights.
What kind of non-HID bulbs are good?

if you get hid's 4300k or 5000k would server you best lumens wise to go with a nice white color. non-hid you could do a 9005 to 9006 conversion and those have an extra 200 lumens i think. all you gotta do is shave of the 2 little tabs on the insde of the bulb connector socket
