[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1091346, member: 561023"] It's cheaper to get the high output regular bulbs as opposed to converting to HID or Xenon. I have Sylvania SilverStars in my car and I really like 'em. They're around $20/apiece and my car has separate high and low beams so I had to have 4 of 'em but after having installed them I find them to be worth every penny. Those are a direct plug-n-play type of affair that require no modification to your wiring harnesses. It should be the same with any aftermarket same-wattage bulbs. If you go with the really high-output bulbs (80~100 watt) you'll likely need to upgrade the harness where the bulb plugs in as the higher current draw is generally too much heat for the factory wiring to sustain. I know at Pep Boys in the lighting section those APC bulbs that are supposed to be way bright have the upgraded harnesses hanging somewhere real close to them 'cause you'll need 'em. [/QUOTE]
