Xenon lights - brighter than stock. There is a difference in the light emitted.
HID is HID. If you want to spend the money on it, go for it.
Clear corners are cool but check your local laws on them. Yes, some cars may come with stock clears but be on the safe side and check. I had to take mine off and sell them because they failed inspection even with the amber bumbs.
I have a mild drop with Eibach springs and dampers and the ride has improved 100%. I may go lower but then I would need a camber kit. I'm trying to keep things simple.
My deck. Aiwa CDC-MP3. One of the first MP3 decks available. It and most of the Aiwa MP3 line have an AUX input. I would suggest a deck with MP3 capability. Nothing beats 120 songs on one CD. (Unless you have an IPod).

No, the iPod still sucks compared to the Jukebox. And anyway, if you're going to spend more than $200 on an MP3 player, and you're going to use it in your car, get the Kenwood Music Keg. Check out www.IGN.com in the Gear section for that ****. It's crazy. $600 gets you hard drive/deck that goes in your car. You pull it out and take it up to your computer any time you want to add more music. It's firewire and USB 2.0 enable too I think. That's what I want. Everything in one place. No CDs ever again. Except to rip to my hard drive.

The way to go with clear corners is NOT to use amber bulbs (unless you like the `fried egg` look)
but to use the new silvered bulbs.
These are silver in colour when off, but glow amber when lit.
They are sold in just about every auto store in the U.K., so should be available almost everywhere!. Philips is just one well-known manufacturer.
