Default 5th Gen headlight question

I recently bought a 98 Lude SH and was wondering if anyone knew where to get the "blue" looking headlight bulbs and how much are they? Also does anyone make any similar bulbs for the parking lights inside the headlight housing, I noticed these are more yellow looking and the headlights are white. Thanks for any help!

You should be able to pick up replacement "blue" bulbs in almost any automotive store or possibly even a place like Walmart. Don't know how much they cost, but they'll vary depending on brand. I have the stock light bulbs in mine, so I can't comment too much more.

I would suggest getting some HID's instead, cause the aftermarket bulbs will go out on your pretty quick

I have gotten "xenon" bulbs on ebay for both of my cars, look good, work good, and never burned out on me. Maybe I just have good luck!

I put some PIAA Extreme White bulbs in mine almost two years ago and they're still burnin' (knock on wood). I can't remember what I paid for them. It seems like they were 15$ - 20$ a piece. HID's are actually a better way to go.

HID is the way to go, but I've also found the the PIAA 7500K Spark blue H1s are a great light bulb.

Default good write up on lights

http://www.absoluteprelude.com/5thgenbulbs.html

The link reviews alot of bulbs, blue may look cool but if you cant see good and run into a deer, well then there goes your car. dont let being cool interfer with function. If you goto the bottom those are the guys favs, bright and cheap.
