wow shaq, good luck! It takes me months to get job interviews. (Expensive usc degree does nothing in the real world lol.)

I don't like wamu's free checking. I want to switch to my employer's credit union, but I like how wamu's atm is only half a mile away.

As for the original question, I agree, the best thing to do is a retrofit. Read more about it at http://www.zukko.com/julian/lighting.html (site belongs to an old member who was active here long, long ago...ahh those were the days). My accord has the conversion kit. Yes, they look nice, and they throw out alot of light. It lights up all the street lane reflectors for the next mile....the overhead signs...the pedestrians on the right...the faces of the oncoming drivers on my left.......

And yes...my car is in some of the pictures on that site

With my Acura TSX, there's a cut-off...the light flares to the right. My light doesn't light up the overhead signs, but it doesn't light up oncoming cars either. The beam pattern looks so much better.

Actually, I just re-read the thread, and was thinking that a retrofit was putting on the headlights of another car...I'm not sure how the beam pattern is for projectors installed in the stock headlight housing. (I quit going on the forums and modding my car 5 or so years ago...I'm only starting to make a comeback since I got my TSX now...so I've been out of the scene and might not be remembering/knowing stuff correctly ;-P)
