The PIAA (?) work well from Summit. About $80, no mods needed. You can use your stock lens.
The 100w others use requires mods, other problems.

I bought new sport housings off of ebay and put them in my '95 with good results. With just stock bulbs that came with the housings its like someone turned on the sun in front of you basicaly compared to the 'ol yeller headlights. I used relays to turn on all 4 highs and lows on high beam and just run two fillimants on low beam (on low beam it is brighter then the stock headlights by a long shot). Ihave been running with all 4 highs and lows for 2 months with not one issue with heat yet. I highly recommend this upgrade to anyone that drives at night alot. Cost was 200$ for housings and I had the relays laying around.

Hands down, most light=HID. Not as tight a beam as a real HID, but it is a lot of light, period!

I got the projector lights with HIDs in them and love them. The hids I got from a friend for $100 what a steal.
