IMO...sylverstars are the best bang for the buck! I've heard bad things about replacement xenon bulbs.....the only was they put out a brighter light is by running more watts, therefore causing more stress which can cause heat and burn you headlight wiring! I don't know if thats the case with these http://www.xenonlightshid.com/......but if youre looking for something thats made to oem specs and will give you a nice white light, sylverstars are the way to go! Unless your're getting the real HID conversions, xenon bulbs don't look too good, but thats just me!

You can get them @ any autozone, pep boys, o'reileys, ebay and just about any car accessorie place! I think they are like $20 a bulb, but very well worth it! You get better visibility and you get a nice bright clear (almost whitetish) light!

ive got silverstar in the headlights and fogs. Silverstars for bulbs, or a full retrofit from an HID equipped OEM vehicle, or dont waste your money.

If you are just upgrading bulbs, go with silverstars. dont waste your money on any other garbage ricebulbs

OR

Do a FULL RETROFIT from an OEM equipped vehicle into your headlights. It will cost but its literally like having daylight come out of your headlights at night.

oh yeah here's w/ the brights...you cant really tell in this pic but they have a bit more of a bluish tint and are VERY bright





and im very happy with this purcahse...only 30 bucks for fogs and headlights...i had silverstars b4 and i wasnt happy, so if you want to pay 40 bucks a bulb..but ill keep paying 30 bucks for four bulbs that look the same if not better :glasses9:

Do the work yourself and it shouldnt cost more than 450 depending on which projectors and ballasts you want to use. Youll want a bi-xenon setup so you dont lose your highs. If you ship it off for someone else to do whos experienced, it can cost up to 300 bucks for the work alone. Not cheap but its badass.
