ah... NO HID KIT!!

If you want truely better light output, you need headlights fitted with OEM HID Components. HID stands for High Intensity Discharge... uses gas filled capsules rather than filaments... similar to a flourescent light. Im sure you've seen newer cars with the lights. Stock halogen headlights dont even compare to the performance of true HID, but you need the right equipment to get the proper output. Putting a HID "kit" in your stock headlights will blind other drivers and will not give you proper dispersion of the very intense light. If you're really interested in seeing better at night, save up some cash and get a hold of me. A pair of retro-fitted headlights for your car will run in the range of $600... thats using all OEM parts (not aftermarket junk) and will give you all the light you could ever need.

If you need a cheaper alternative to HID, add some driving lights (not fog) they'll help you see distances better, but should only be used when there is no other traffic in front of you. I know what its like driving in the woods... thats why I have a full HID setup on my car and I couldnt be happier... money very well spent in my mind!
