Well unless you want to retrofit and buy a good HID kit then I suggest you just keep regular bulbs in there. Sylvania Silverstars are great, those Xenon ones come with blue coated bulbs if you just want the look of HID. Thats basically what those two brands are for.

Me personally? I have 10,000k HID which is a bluish/purplish tint. Yes I know, ricer as hell but whatever, I like them and they illuminate better with my buffed out headlights, but they don't glare like most cheap kits (mine WASN'T cheap) and I have them set correctly so that they don't blind oncoming traffic.

Go with Sylvania, you won't be disappointed!

The xenons I'm referring to didn't have any blue coating, they produced white light. I must be talking about a different version. I know it said xenon somewhere, same shape container but different look to it, I still have it but it's over at my apartment in the closet (that's right, I don't have my own internet access :isadouche::chuckles: )

IMO for regular headlights id go with piaa, nokya, or catz, also try buffing your headlights to remove any haze

Get the PIAA star white or platinum white bulbs. They are pure white and light up the road better than any other bulb I have ever seen or used. I use them in all of my cars and they have lasted for 5 years so far in my subaru and so far have lasted 2 1/2 years in my truck. Both sets are still going strong with no signs of dimming. Now I have some PIAA star whites in my del sol and I love them. The PIAAs are worth the price.
