    If your current lights are dull/yellow, new housings will make a big difference alone. You can always swap the bulbs LED/HID bulbs as well but while ‘brighter’, they tend to scatter the light quite a bit. Retro fits are a good option to optimize the full power of LED/HID’s bulbs. Both have their pros and cons.

    I vote retrofit. Love me some HID/LED projectors.

    I put in a set of @SouthPaw's lights yesterday. So far I'm really liking them :).

    Heres a link to most of the work.
