Lighting Opinions

Ok, Im fed up with my dull headlights and Im looking for something to replace them with.

Iwas wondering what lighting options you all have had experience with and how liked them as well as how muvch they costed you.

Im looking to replace the low beams, side lights and the front blinkers. Im prob gonna leave the high beams alone.

Thanks!

Go HID's if you can afford them. If not, Nokya Artic white's. I have heard nohing but good reviews out of that bulb(around $40). Silverstars are bright, however their coloration is VERY amber($50). As for corners, the piaa 192/194 bulbs are great coloration and match to your halogen bulbs(around $15). Blinkers are tough, i have eurolite xenon's i got for $8, but they are not very white, preatty amber. I have tried a Eurolite Xenons, Piaa Plasmas, XD5s, Silverstars and Cool Blues. My conclusions, don't fuck with halogen bulbs, go HID and save money in the long run or go with Nokya if you have a tight budget.

Well, i'd say if HIDS arnt in the price range ($400) then go for a 9005 highbeam conversion. (if u dont know what this is, its buying new high beam brights bulbs ...i got mine blue to look like HIDS...and your convert then (cut some stuff) to fit the low beam socket..so its kinda like driving with highbeams on....its really cool...im soo happy with mine sence i coudlnt affird HIDS right now....check it out..!!
