headlight options

I'm looking for some new headlights to replace my OEM halogens. I like the look of the OEM HIDs but theyre far too expensive. I dont mind the raxiom smoked headlights but I don't like the smoked lenses much, and they apparently have terrible output of light.

My first option is the black ccfl halos that I believe are the same as the raxioms, just not smoked: http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...-Headlight-Kit

If those don't work out, I would look at just retrofitting my factory headlights: http://retro-solutions.net/product-l...pg1-cid94.html

Who all out there with experience with aftermarket headlights can help me? I don't want to make the wrong decision.

I have spyder headlights. They look nice, and no condensation issues. I got them from a forum member on here for pretty cheap. One halo stopped working the first day I put them on so I turned the other off too.

I was under the impression that the OEM HIDs are not interchangeable with non HID cars as the wiring harness is different. No?

I retrofit mine using the retrofitsource morimoto mini D2S kit.
https://themustangsource.com/f726/le...4/#post6571562
This kit:

But the D2S required me to enlarge the hole the bulb went in, the H1 kit is a direct fit.

These are pricey but IMO they look like a great retrofit of the OEM halogen lamps.

Yes the raxiom have terrible output! So I had to get a 35w 5000k HID kit from retro-solutions. Have been using them for almost 6 months with no flickering or melting
