High beam bulbs

Anyone know what bulb I can use that would be a direct pop in that would give me a 8 to 10,000k look ?
With out going with a real hid setup.

I found these one's but,these are 100w and our factorys are 60w.
Can these pop right in with no worries about upgrading anything else since there will be more current draw?

Be careful with higher wattage bulbs, on a previous car I ran higher than OEM and they burned out the sockets eventually and had to replace the pigtails connectors.

My real question is why? I have used my highbeams maybe a dozen times since I bought it back in 2003. Arent the HID's bright enough? Are they maybe aimed wrong if not?

Is this just for looks? If so just get some Silverstars and they wont look yellow compared to the HID's.

basically for looks.All my lights look good till you pull the high beams and it looks like every other cars lame yellowish lights.
When I'm ridding with the hid's I feel like I am in a differnt ball game with 3/4 the cars on the road.I actually hide the high beams cuz they do look like trash.

Why dont you try the ones i have, the nokya 80w. There deep yellow and they stand out even when their off. Like when you look at my headlights you see the yellow reflection in the socket.

Just an FYI, even econo cars have optional HID's, so their not really anything "special". You can get a kit off ebay for like $100, so its not an exclusive club.

And our high beams actually work very well, for their intended purpose. They light up the road when the HID's dont go far enough, and especially when you want to get someone's attention they are angled just perfectly to be VERY obvious that you turned them on.

Now if you care more about looks than function, go ahead and get some ricey blue lights that look cool but output less light

I am fully aware what car can/have them but,If you take a look when you driving down the highway and look across you should notice there are far less unequiped cars.So I think my car is in a little higher class for that reason.If I had all projectors and one's that turned when you turn it would seperate even more.
Since I'm all done modding my headlamps I'm just looking for some pop in looks.
I like the blue lights if thats ricey.I dont like when it gets into the purple's and the pinks.
Also I was just trying to match my headlights so it dont look like a circus show.with multiple colors.

I think madmuzic's look good I might try some of them too.

I am actually selling those bulbs in the BM!

I def didn't get mine that cheap though...fml! They are pretty blue, and bright as hell! When they aren't on you get a nice blue tint in the housing where the high beams are.

I have PIAA extream whites for Hi's. I rarely use my high's so It's really a waste I think. Even for looks, who cares? Who is going to be seeing them except the person your blinding in front of you? Who are you going to impress?

I've probally only used mine a handful of times myself since having the car.Everything's apart so I might as well do something to them.
The looks is going to be for myself.Also to take pics of my upgraded lights. You dont know if it looks good till you see your ride in a pic.that's the way you can tell if it looks good
