lol ok well i started out not knowing a clue how to do it but its probably the simplest mod you can ever do for your car. Go pick up a pair of bulbs for about 30 dollars. Then read the owners manuel on replacing the bulbs.

Also, if I were paying $30 locally for bulbs I would splurge a bit and get some cheap HIDs on ebay. Those are also a very simple installation and while not always of the utmost quality at the cheap prices, I have personally never had a problem.

u might wanna be sure hey are the same wattage..i got some off ebay that were higher than stock and wel...it melted the cones inside my headlights...as far as HID's ive seen some kits that run 150-200$...and the superstition i have is nething less than 100$ for hids is garbage...am i wrong
sylvania ultras are alright but the color isnt much of an improvement over stock..i was disappointed. but u can definely see more..how much? jus a noticeabled ifference, nothing amazing..when i bought mine it was 50$ sticker price but i got a mail in rebate for 15$

BTW - HIDS are usually 35w, unless you pay more for higher wattage versions, which get bright as hell!
*edit - basically the way I think of the HID issue is if the vehicle didn't come stock with HIDs then the application is probably not meant for them (meaning a projector or a really well focused refraction lens). At that point I don't drop hundreds of dollars on something that wasn't meant to be in the first place.
Yes, the quality could probably be better, there might be risk (very little if you know what you're doing), but in my case I have been extremely happy, everyone that sees them likes them (save for the ol' farts that don't like them bright lights) and I haven't run into any issues. Again, YMMV.
