I looked at some of the retrofit stuff on the HIDplanet forum, and I think that might take more time than I was planning on, and I'm not sure I could even do it correctly.

I wish somebody made a good plug-and-play set of lights. I did find these on LMC truck:

Truck Parts and Truck Accessories

But I am not sure that they would be any better than the ebay ones. They are certainly expensive though.

I am not sure if those are better than the cheap-o ebay ones or not.

Technically a halogen retrofit would still be illegal, as the light source / housing was not tested and approved by the DOT. It would, however, be far more difficult to tell it wasn't a stock option.

You could alway buy the halo/ projector lights and try to use a silverstar bulb. Not quite sure on the setup on the halo/ projectors tho.
