Forgot to add, I bought a set of ricer looking projectors for the RV (from ebay) and installed them maybe a year ago. There is now a thin plastic layer peeling off them, like a clearcoat peeling or something. I only mention this in case you are looking at those type of headlights. I would advise against it.
FYI-you can wet sand that clear off and buff it out with 3m plastic Polish , then clear it. Comes out great.

Hello,just read the SOULSEA REPORT. I am now deciding to remove my self from the HID and LED light systems. I tried but by reading and learning from the Pros I find I am not a candidate.
Sure wanted to badly. This hurts.
Thanks again for all the help!

All is not lost. The Depo projectors with halogen bulbs are still a worthy upgrade even without going the HID route.

I'd rather stick with factory then go depo. With or without hids.
Retrofit for the same price and a little labor or stay with stock. Or being yukon get crystal clear or denali like what Fosscore posted.

I love my depo. I just use the bulb that comes with it. Lights up my whole street and the cut off is good. I'll take a video tonight These depos are 100000% better then my other projector halo headlights I had. The depos are worth every penny on $134 I do believe I paid off eBay.

For what it is worth, I bought a set of Denali projector copies on Amazon (they are PERDE by TYC branded, but sold by Headlights Depo), and put a set of HIDs in them, and they seem to work really well with the projectors. I have some shots in my build thread that shows what they look like.

The light output is pretty impressive for stock bulbs

I will 2nd again on the Depos. They are still halogen bulbs yes, but the output and cut off is so much better than OEM. And for about $112 Amazon Prime, this is an easy, quick upgrade to OEM that gives you output without going the HID route. I have had them for just shy of 18 months at this point and worked great. Of course I drive in the concrete jungle, just my .02. :)
