OK so I did try HID s in my HB they work awesome in low beam not o good in high beam think its do to the way the lens is made also having an issue with one ..on and off lol mind of its own .
My question is ..would like something better than stock bulb brighter that will not brake the bank and last ...any thoughts ,recommendations experience etc.

If you're looking for bright, I have these for my sedan because HIDs gave me too much trouble

Ty price is good too, funny how ppl complain about the life of the bulb forgetting that with DRL they are always on .
I have removed my DRL so they should last a yr or more.

Mine never came with DRL so I never went through that
But with my HIDs, they were trouble. I loved them but they were spread all over the place and don't even get my started on the high beams. I felt bad blinding people lol
When one finally went out, I had mixed feelings about it

Unless you have the projectors then you would be okay. I dont think its the lens but check this out: when I had mine installed, the metal piece that deflects the light from the bulb: http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/10/08/54bbd49f522d068b3e18f27633179cda.jpg was facing upwards (opening was upward thus pushing light up) instead of down because of the way the slots/ inserts are set up in the headlight. Maybe that's the problem because on my friends car (civic), his was facing down and his HIDs worked perfectly. Strange huh? I think that's the problem

Yes! Now you are talking my language! If you find someone who makes a hood pod let me know! That would be siiiiick or even a light bar going across the front grill that's nice and clean.
