do an HID setup with your stock headlight bucket. After a recent thread about it I looked it up and I have found some that claim to fit into the headlight bucket and look stock. That is as bright as it's going to get for ya. But if your just looking for excuses to change your headlight to something more slick then..........................Heck yeah post pics when your done!!!

IMO that headlight you set a link to looks kinda cheap to me. You get what you pay for but then again theres good deals out there too maybe thats one of em.
