Headlight Experience

I'm going to change out the bulbs on my 97 2.2CL to something with a "white" look. I'm not forking out all the dough for HID, but want opinions on what good alternatives there are....especially ones that won't melt all my shit and will last longer than a 15 year old with Jenna Jameson.

I guess when you mention "HID" you're referring to true-HID. If that's the case, then you may want to consider PIAA Super White bulbs for around $55-$60. They're very good quality bulbs.

Actually, I don't have them on my car, but I see them on eBay all the time for this price. You probably can find them right now!

Yeah the super platinums are a little bit cheaper now because of the newer bulbs that are coming out. Such as the xtreme whites and the plasmas that i have. It really is up to preference though...

Unfortunately, the more yellow the bulb is, the better you can see in the rain

So.. if you want to keep the white lights and see in the rain, you need to get yellow fog lights.
