headlight mod comparisions

hey guys i'm really suck and torn between what to do with my headlights. First and foremost is that i WILL do one of these things aleast. I'm looking for more light mainly. I'm not the best with with a dremel to say the least. actually no experience with it. But i read and saw a lot of write-ups so i feel confident in getting it done somewhat. all except wiring. would Cefiros be the same amount of brightness as a AE with 9007 mod

I'm seriously considering all headlights aviable. cefiro, AE mod with 9007 bulbs and the HID projectors.

At first i really wanted the HID's because they looked so sexy and it was the best light output. But i was pricing out the stuff and it was a little high. projector set is like 350. but it looked to be a lot more arts and crafts then anything and i'm not too great with cutting and fitting. if you do suggest that i go for the HID retofit. Please give me good set of projectors. Right now i'm looking at TSX

Then i said why not get the cefiro smoked. I like the style, seemed great. Not too much installing issues. From what i read all you need to do is remove the center peice where the corner light meets the headlight and then figure out what to stuff in the little gap near the corners. $300 roughly.

As i started to read the Stickys i got to the 9004~> 9007 conversion and AE mods. I have no problems doing the AE mod but there isn't enought detail for me to have a full understanding of how to do the conversion. But i doubt this modd will run me over $100.

So overall price wise/ light output wise/amount of time needed to do this stuff/ what would you guys rate these 3 mods.

9004 -> 9007 will save you time but price range between Cefiro and HID Retrofit, I would say go with the HID Retrofit.

how much light diffrence is between a 9004~> 9007 VS cefiro and a cefiro VS HID's


right now i'm looking at doing the AE with a 9007 conversion if i can get a better write up. Since it is the easiest to do and if i opted to go the HID route i wouldn't regret it as much since it was a lot cheaper.

Whats the typical conversion going to cost me

put it this way in light output and brightness

HID Projector Retrofit > H4 HID > H4 (Cefiro) > 9007 > 9004
