It's true, the stock e34 lighting is crap... I was going to wait for about a year before HID. I know I'll be traveling up and down from socal to norcal if I get into the schools I want, so there will be some late night traveling. I'd feel a lot safer with some brigher lights. I have sylvania silverstars with the 9005 mod. It's not bright at all.

~And of course, I am open to any better deals out there.
