I just recently installed my new headlights, they look great. But at night, my low beams are super dim. I tried putting the factory bulbs in there just in case it was the made in China crap, but no luck. I was looking for a plug-n-play set of LED's. Anyone know where I can pick some up? Thanks.
 
The main issue you are probably is that without fitting proper projectors designed for HID's, the light pattern will not be ideal and could potentially blind drivers coming the other direction. The HID's will absolutely work in the factory housing, but just the way it was really intended.

I recently purchased a set of LED bulbs for my 1ga and they basically suffer from the light pattern issues. They have to be carefully aligned so you get a good cutoff pattern. The LED lights got extremely hot (more so than I was really comfortable with), so I took them back out for the time being. They make LED bulbs with built in fans in the back of them, but I did not want my headlight to sound like a bunch of buzzing bees either.

I don't have any buzzing bee noises. Just normal car noises in mine. Just installed my LED bulbs with fans two days ago.

That's good to know. I read some reviews of people complaining about the noise of the fans since they are fairly small. Guess some brands are better than others. I may look into again after the halogen bulbs burn out again.

Projector headlights can be purchased for cheap, but I recommend retrofitting a set of OEM headlights. This is what really changes the light output of the headlights. It is more expensive to retrofit an OEM pair, but in my opinion it is worth every penny.
I like your new profile pic too
Hey thanks!
