thanks for the pm, digital pro.
so then my decision is to either stay stock or swap out my low bulbs for sylvania silverstars as needed. as for the fogs, oem to save time money and trouble. TRD sparks though has 'em sold out....=/ ....last i checked.

1. I do have a set of cheapo HID 6000k on mine. I am Not happy with it. If you look at my car from the outside it looks cool but then as a driver it really bothers me how cheap the quality is and almost every night on my drive I wish that I have the money to upgrade to the real thing.

2. I have my tails blacked out love it but been pulled over once, had to tone it down a lil.
---had my heads smoked out, looked cool in the am but then at night spcially when you hVe the lights on, it looks soooo stupid!
---I suggest putting on done eyelids/eye brows, that's what I plan to do as well check out *forgeworks (something like that) but it's so over price I think $95 unpainted not including shipping.

Try a pair of Morimoto HID's I've used a couple different HID bulb makers off the internet and these have always been better, still aftermarket bulbs but you will see the differnece in the output. The 4300K Morimoto's w/35W ballasts really look like 5K compared to OEM cars out there using 4100K OEM bulbs.

hey guys, i got to the point where i was tired of the hid scattering and i went back to OEM with the Philips xtreme visoon, they are birgther then the regular OEM, but not rlly what i want, i was wondering if anyone knows about a HID kitt that doesnt scatter that much, i know our cars tend to scatter, im just looking to see if i can find something decent. thnks.

The housing is what causes the scatter and this can probably only be solved by a retrofit kit. Best setup is going to be using HID projectors. They get expensive but if you are going to do it right it costs
