03+ headlights & tailights upgrade questions?

I know many of you have upgraded your 2000-2002 S class headlights, tailights, and side mirror lights. Have you found the upgrded headlights to be brighter or better than the stock ones that came with your car? Have you found a brand on ebay for example, to be better than another brand? What has been the best deal you've found? I want to order and I want to upgrade not just the looks but the lights as well without going to xeons. I would appreciate your feedback.
Thanks everyone!

Jim,

There are a few threads on this topic already no need to start another.

I would stay away from upgrading your lights as it is very expensive and the ones on Ebay are crap.

Read all about it in the existing threads.

Ebay? Lots of choices but no one to talk to, always email.
I don't have HID but want better bulbs. Any suggestions?
