I have an HID kit in my OEM projectors. It's not as good as an HID retrofit, but it's not as bad as people make it out to be. I have pretty good cutoff and almost no glare.

No. Try some stuff made by 3m, it's a scratch remover.

Default lighting upgrade

I just installed Silvania Silverstars, 9006 in my sons 95 teg. They helped
greatly and were simply a plug and run. The cost was about $30.00 for
the low beams and Kragen autoparts.

i have an 2sk retro fit on my teg cut off is amazing, light oupt second to none, i had www.customlightz.com do it, these guyz where awsome great customer service, and they charge only $200 for labor plus color mod.. u just send them yoru headlgihts, and u can get projectors on your own, or get it from them, and if u already have an oem style hid kit u wil just need d2s bulbs.
