You mean you hate the bulbs or you hate the housings?

Bulbs are cheap and easy enough to replace on your own.

That is exactly what I was looking for, any idea how hard it would be to install myself or should I just pay a shop to do it?
The hardest part is paying $1300 for new headlights lol... The installation shouldn't be too difficult. The bumper is fairly simple to remove. Just a lot of clips and fasteners.

After researching the heck out of options, I landed on Morimoto HIDs as a direct replacement to the stock bulbs. Our halogen projectors aren't perfect, but have proven to be quite good at managing light output from the smaller HID bulb. Morimoto's kit comes with the ballasts and relay kit to prevent any additional strain on the factory wiring. For the price, you'll be hard-pressed to find anything better, unless planning to do a full HID retrofit yourself.

Can someone with before and after pictures of the HID and LED lights post a picture? Bought my 19 SI a few weeks ago and the yellow lights have been bothering me since day one. Mostly want to see what the HID looks like vs LED. (Spending $120 vs $1200 to upgrade)

I did not realize the Si lights are halogen, yuck! Are the CTR headlights a direct swap?
