That kit is cheaper thru LMC...

As for bulbs many like the Silverstars. Although they do not last long in my motorcycle, possibly due to vibration.

Any particular reason you don't want HID?

I have the Silverstar Ultra's in my 3000GT. If I could find a lens I liked for my F250, haven't looked, I would run them. A bit pricey but put out great light. I have bought new sets on ebay cheap enough to carry spares. Two have gone out in 4 yrs. Relays for full power closer to the lights I believe help the brightness of regular halogens.
