    What have you guys done to increase both visibility to other drivers as well as your own light for YOU to see?

    Anybody seen or attempted at retrofitting HID projectors into the headlights?

    I haven't done anything yet at the front end. My '98's headlights provide incredible visability far and wide. Really amazing. I am tempted at times to add riding lights, but more as a nice-to-have, not as a need-to-have.

    I did add taillight flashers that flash five times before staying steady on when I activate the brake. I also replaced the mirrors with lighted ones that act as both running lights and additional turn signals. I've had many comments on how both enhance my visibility considerably.

    I tried hids and didn't like the beam pattern (no high/low, just on), but they seem to make me more visible to others. I ended up with h4 adapter rings and 55/60 halogens and I like them alot, The beam pattern is great, esp. highbeams. I added an extra led brake light cause I commute alot and that helps with the sleepers behind me.

    Quad HIDs and flashing LED brake lights.

    I broke my Stebel Horn the day I got it. I'll be replacing with an actual trumpet air horn. I just have to figure out where in the hell I'll mount it.

    5th and 4th gens should work great with H4 Bi-Xenon Kits; both lamps on at all times and able to toggle between hi and lo.
