I dont like the stock lightbulbs it comes with so i wanna get some super white xenon bulbs. They are legal right? Also i what size do i need to get for my ralliart? Oh and i will probablly just get the ones at pep boys. Is that ok or should i get them off a web site?

 

Headlights are 9007
Parking lights (aka mystery bulb) are M4
Fog lights are H3

 

So should i just get the ones at pep boys? they are legal right?

 

They should have a D.O.T. label if you are concerned over lagality. I got the "xenon / hyper-whites" at my local shop and I haven't had any issues with po-po

 

Actually if they are APC most likely not DOT approved, at least the ones at advance auto here arent. But i dont think you should have a problem with them if you get just super whites. Blue bulbs like mine on the other hand may give you a problem just cause they stick out so much.

 

I have the Sylvanias BlueVision installed... and it's a great buy (WalMart by the way). I went from yellow to real white and it's a bit more powerfull. They're not bling bling (read: bluish) but real quality lighting.

Oh, and don't go for new H3 bulbs unless you're willing to work for it... they're a pain to change (under the bumper, very well hidden, see user manual).


What's wrong with the flashers though??? Why would someone change those if they're not burnt out? Not flashing enough?!? I smell bling bling...

 

Flashers? He didn't mention changing those. The parking lights are the M4 that were in previous threads described as 'mystery bulb'. I changed those because they were yellow and my headlights and fog lights are super-white. When I had the headlights on at night, you could see the little yellowish bulb up in the corner. Incidentally, the fogs ARE a major pain in the ****. I hope they don't burn out b/c I may not change them again!

 

Thanks guys i got the eurolight xenon super white headlights and parking lights and i just got done putting them on. Anyone else notice how much of a pain in the *** it is to change the headlights on the lft side of the car. I hate how everything is so packed.

 

Anybody know of a parking light that will match the Sylvania silverstars (9007ST)? I bought the headlight bulbs, but couldn't find the parking lights.

 

Yep... I went ahead and unplugged the throttle sensor 'cause I was loosing even more skin on my right arm then I was loosing patience! But then I kinda... well... forgot to plug it back on before I switched the ignition on. People, you don't wanna do that... The "service engine soon" light came on immediately when I started the engine!!! It ran just fine, but the light just wouldn't go away! Just because I actually put the car in accessory mode while the sensor was still unplugged! After 30mins pondering what in hell could fix this, I did what I normally recommend users should do to their PCs: I rebooted the whole thing (actually, I unplugged the battery to reset the ECU ). The light never came up again... but what a ridiculous ordeal to have to go through just to change a freakin' light bulb! Shouldn't the ECU just detect that the sensor is plugged back on?!?

Sorry about that... english is still only a second language to me. I had those two things confused. My mistake...

I never noticed those parking lights... when are they on? I always turn on the low beams and fog lights when I drive though...

I got some at WalMart for 15 bucks the same night I bought the car :P Much better light than stock but not super...Also got some blue reverse lights. They dont shine blue, but shine REALLY bright. BTW, the codes for all the bulbs are in the manual. I confess to not reading mine either. I just now found the coin tray 3 weeks after I've had the car. Didn't know there was a fuse puller and extra fuses behind it too! duhhhh
