XenonDepot.com. I know it is kinda expensive, but getting real HID's not only look better both from inside your car and outside, they last longer, use less power, etc. I went through like 5 packs of those cheap bulbs and thought they worked well and that they were so cool. Now I pull up next to people on the free way with them and I just laugh cause they look like crap. I can now pull up next to BMW's and have that same light color and spread, its really cool.

hmmm, there was a vendor selling some on the forums, his name is ARVSHOP and he was selling an hid kit. I dunno if he has anymore though. you might wanna search for him and pm him asking if he has anymore, i think he was selling them 240 shipped, but I dunno if you wanna pay that much, just throwing out another suggestion is all.

I do want to get the catz galaxy white bulbs like purecoda, I think the look pretty good, and I've only heard good things from purecoda, trouble is, I can hardly find them on ebay. That's why I was thinking of this hid kit from ARVSHOP, but I dunno, still kinda expensive.

EDIT: whoops, sorry bout that, he is selling them for 310 shipped....lol, big difference, dunno why I thought it was 240, but yah, here is the link

FYI, those fake bulb will no be any brighter than stock bulbs unless you get alot higher wattage and then you run the risk of burning up the light wires. You say only 12 bucks, b ut if you do it every couple of months, and consider the time you are wasting to have to either search for or go buy them plus your time to install them. Also, whats bad about those fake lights is that the light they cast is blue unlike hids. HID's may look blue or purple but if you get a good hid color eg. 4300k then they will look blue to oncoming trafiic or onlookers, but they are actually daytime white. The problem with those fake bulbs is the colors fatigues your eyes when your driving, not something you want to happen at night.

I may have spent alot on my HID's but it is the Best mod I have done and I will never buy a car that does not have HID's either installed or not able to be installed aftermarket.

true, but if his track record with cheap bulbs is like mine, that $13 bucks really turns into something more like $100 (after 4 burn outs and a freaking ticket).

also, the catz bulbs ARE brighter with the same wattage. while more wattage may guarantee brightness, there are other ways (like different gas).
