Default Okay... These headlights suck!!!

I nailed a big branch in the road driving home in the fall nasty rainstorm tonight. Didn't even see it till it was too late... I hit the middle of it, so I don't think I sustained any damage, but it was mighty close...

What are the cheap upgrades??

High wattage bulbs with relays and euro-lenses? What are a set of euro lenses for the S6 going for these days?

Any problems with melting the housings with high performance/wattage bulbs?

I recently got 2 euro housings for $700... But the lenses can be had for $130 from ECS I think!

Default I installed both of mine in a wendy's parking lot...15min install

then an additional 30-40min later to neatly mount the ballasts and ignitors. put them in, you'll be happy!
the euro lenses are also a nice upgrade, although HIDs should be done first as they make a much bigger difference. I paid ~$100 for my euro lenses through a GB at PG Performance, and ~$195 for the 4300k McCulloch 4300k HID kit.
