On a similar note, I had considered doing an HID bulb conversion since I already have the H4's. but after reading this, I decided to stick with what I have for now.

Personally, If you do the upgrade for more lighting power, go with some E-code lights. You can get them from rallylights.com, which are authentic hella lights, or you can get these off of ebay, which are European aftermarket replacements, similar to what we get in auto parts stores:

The advantage of E-code lights is that they have a sharp cut off, where the light doesn't go above a certain point. This means you can run a high powered bulb, but not blind oncoming drivers.
It's Gumby's fault.
