Default Projector Headlights

I'll shortly be in the market for some new headlights. What is the best option for Projectors for the xB?

Thanks

if you where gonna do this so you could see better...stop!
do the HID if you want to light the raod better.

if you were going for looks alone, do the projectors.
somepeople say just swapping the bulbs in the projectors fixed the light output issue. i still feel the stock lights were better...

go HID

I'd go with the projector headlights which will run you about $110 shipped:

And i'd do the HID convertion kit which this guy in this thread is selling for $250 shipped:

The HID's threw the projectors are extremely bright and light up the WHOLE road

i knew you had projectors and it was bright as heck on our way back from Estes. I keep forgetting to ask what you have.

If thats what he has, get that. It was very bright and looked awesome.
