New Headlights Suggestions

ok so my right headlight is out and I was wondering if anyone has some suggestions on some to get. I just want some that will give some better visibility than the stock headlights(crap). Let me know.

You can buy any replacement bulb you like, blue, white, or purple. They all give the illusion of making things brighter, but the color wavelengths actually reduce effectiveness.

The stocker are actually not that bad, and certainly cheaper than most other replacements. It's your call, but I went back to stock after my other set went south.

EDIT: My other set were Nokia Arctic Whites. Looked nice, but you couldn't see anything if you were driving in total darkness. Those country roads were a real pain after putting those things in.

PIAA's are expensive if I recall correctly, but good quality.

I installed PIAAs in my car and looked at them with one in and one stock in, and it looked damn near identical. On a side note, i have a set of one day used silverstars if you would like them. PM me.

I've gotten two sets on e-bay too. Look at my registry for a picture of the package. I really have no idea what brand they are, but theres quite a big difference from stock.

Just because you buy off e-bay, doesn't mean you're not buying a quality bulb????? I got a pair of nokya arctic whites off ebay and have had them on for a year...no problems..
e-bay is just a place to get quality brands for a cheaper price than pretty much all stores
