I was just debating what i should get next some new headlights like projectors or some stocks with HID's in them. I got some lights before but they were terrible the only thing that I could salvage was the corners but I was just wondering about your opinion so let me know what you guys thinks. Thanks much

Since the headlights on the 97-03's don't light the road very well, you should go with projectors and HID's. Might as well get the best of both!

i suppose that getting projectors would light up the road and make the beam cutoff so it wouldnt blind other drivers. Oh and what does a stock projectors come with if they dont have HID's with them and what have you heard about condesation and fogging up because I live where its cold and I dont want to ruin my new headlights.

You shouldn't get condensation if the headlights are sealed properly, but there's really no way of knowing that. You could probably ask a buyer of that specific headlight brand if they had any problems with them leaking. If they don't come with HID's they will accept the stock bulb sockets with halogen bulbs.

As for the projectors... you will get some fogging on the inside of the capsule when the conditions are right, especially in damp conditions. Now, the fogging isn't severe, only in the corners of the capsules. As far as being sealed correctly, they are sealed nicely and do have vent caps throughout to keep them from accumulating condensation.

The projectors ship with H1 bulbs in them (non-HID). I have them right now, and believe me they are 10X better than the stock housings. Of course I am upgrading to both HID projectors and fogs over the winter, so I will be sure to post up my opinions on the differences.
