hi beam lights

The hi beam lights on the 01 CL-S are not as bright as the low beams, I bought the car used and was wondering if the previous owner changed out the low beam lights and never changed the high beams or does it just come like that from the factory. If so I want to change them out to match the lowbeam lights and wanted some suggestions on which brand to use.

Low beams are HID (Xenon), High beams are regular Halogen bulbs.

However.....you can change the high beams to a super white type that will match the HID's closer than stock. I think the number is 9005. I have a pair of Solaris bulbs that I had in my CL that I paid $85 for that I would be willing to part with very cheap. Either PM me or email to flemingm@sharpsec.com. *end commercial*

My advice is to not get the ones that show blue. I always cringe when I see a cop car as if they see me with the blue hue, I can just see them pulling me over to hassle me.....

But yeah, change the highs out. Makes a huge difference.

ALL the lights that closely match the HID's are blue!
