    You best bet would be to retrofit your headlights you have now. For a set (with the TW 25% discount) is around $240. Projector light you buy off ebay suck. And if you want a retrofit built for you its about $500-$800 depending on options. Do it yourself, its pretty easy!

    Here is the link to the TW ongoing group buy

    Here are some pics to get you an idea

    Here is how to do FXR projectors. I would reccomend D2S because its a lot easier and has about the same light output

    I thought the same thing, but them I realized that the existing OEM lighting is more than sufficient for driving. The OEM system actually induces high beam flashbacks from oncoming traffic when my lights are on low.

    I then decided that money would be best spent on additional offroad/work lights.

    Depends where you want to go with your build.

    Im waiting for new headlight & taillight housings but Im not changing the lights themselves, the bulbs will be the same ones that are in the stock housings now. I have a black truck so I bought black background headlight housings and euro style taillight housings. The justification was that I need to replace one taillight housing because somebody cracked one when they hit my truck and skedaddled. I got the housing kit from ebay...we'll see if they suck.
