That's a link to the HID swap I did. You can see perfect with them. I love them and wouldn't change them.

I have the eBay housings too and mine are plenty bright (about like stock), but my headlights are bigger since I have a 'bird, so that may be why.

Re: HID HELP going for the stock look

you can always buy HID projectors and fit them in the cheap ebay housings then get a HID kit to fit the projectors and have TRUE hid lighting. you get a semi stock look with modern lighting.

Hella ECE or "E-code

Been there, done that. Chrome was better, but still worse than a sealed Sylvania Silverstar halogen bulb.
