Thanks. The array of available parts for 2001-2011 is far more diverse than the 98-00 models.

Where did you get those? They're freakin nice man. I got some LEDs but they don't work very well in the stock headlight housings. And it took me a while to understand what you typed at the end
I have heard bad things about Spyders beam patterns, I will be interested in knowing how well they work.
And yes, putting anything other than a halogen bulb in the stock reflectors is an act of self defeatism. The reflectors depend on the light source being in one particular very important spot. A LOT of engineering went into that. 'plug and play' HIDs and LEDs put this source in a different spot with predictably bad results. Dedicated projectors or something like this is the ONLY way you can effective increase the light output. You can always buy better halogen bulbs too.
You were correct about the beam pattern. Totally unusable. Too dim in general even brights, impossible to adjust properly, they look cool but generally suck.
