If your looking for a unique look and have a small pocket. I would recommend the Sylvania Silverstars they emitt a bright white light and are some of the brightest higher wattage halogen bulbs I have seen. Now that I got a hid conversion kit I am going to have to put some in my brights because not only are my original high beams cheese yellow now, they aren't as bright as my silverstars were in my truck that I used to have. But, that's just my opinion. By the way I don't recommend the cool blue Sylvania bulbs they aren't bright at all.

You might want to consider the Hoen Xenonmatch bulbs or the NOKYA line of bulbs that we carry. I ran the Hoen bulbs in my LS for about two years until I replaced them with an HID conversion kit. They were much brighter than the stock bulbs and brighter than the Silverstars. You can view them here:

Hoen Bulbs

Or you can check out the NOKYA line of bulbs here:

Standard on Premium Sport models.

But to original poster, just get silverstars. They'll last you and you can find them in any car parts store. Then just save up and get some xetronics. Don't get crappy ebay brand $100 xenons, mine blew out in like a week.

all this HID optional 03 stuff how do i know if i got it and if it does can i switch out the bulbs

Posted by: glanga

You would know if you have HID's, they are much different than traditional halogens. They fire up almost a soft blue then turn to a clear white color after a few minutes.

And yeah you can switch out the bulb with any matching bulb size which I think is D2R. If you have the HIDs you could get any temp color from yellow to purple if it's a D2R bulb.

Your car would have a high voltage sticker under the hood on the headlamp housing if you had HIDs

Someone correct me??
