02/03 HID headlight question

I love the way the HIDs look but the high beams and parking lights pale in comparison! I saw the post with Maxima Polak's headlight setup and liked it - Did anyone else replace their parking/high-beam bulb with something else that looks good? Any suggestion/recommendation/pics of replacement parking/high-beam bulbs? Any input or suggestion would be appreciated!

Ok, just for you I will repeat the key sentence in the middle that you missed and highlight the key words:

Did anyone else replace their parking/high-beam bulb with something else that looks good?

Im specifically looking for other solutions besides Maxima Polak's setup. Why bother responding if you're not going to contribute?

I was thinking that too. No problem with inspection or do you put them back?

sorry i overlooked a word, im just getting irritated by the countless threads posted about HID this HID that.. its getting old since theres so much material to look up if you just SEARCH. not refering to you individually. put silverstars in your highs, works fine as day for me.. there i contributed

I was thinking silverstars in highs but I heard that low beam silverstars have a short lifespan - are high beam silverstars plagued by this problem as well? Did you ever have them burn out yet? Thanx.
