Definitely either get better halogen bulbs or just retrofit.
i probably wont be doing a retrofit, just cause i dont have much money or skill/time to do so. Maybe later, but for now i just want something with better output. Since you said the output was bad, what are some good halogen bulbs out there? Looking to find one close to a 6 maybe 8k HID output, if there are good halogen bulbs out there for the fit

It's not preference.

Drop-ins are doing it wrong.
Retrofit is the best available.
