Im going to be restoring my yellowing headlights tomorrow and want to replace the worn out bulbs as well. What do you guys recommend for a good bulb that will out perform stock.

Thanks.

Click to expand...

I have HIDs, and I would only recommend them to someone if they were going to do a retrofit. It's not the glare that's bad on my car (and it's honestly not bad at all), it's that I just can't see all that well with them. They don't make a decent beam pattern (and mine is especially narrow), and you simply can't see as well with them.

Here's a decent kit to retrofit in HIDs: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/product_info.php?products_id=227

Yea, it's $270, but you will have VERY nice HIDs that don't blind others.

The Silver Star Ultras were exactly what I needed. Considering that I was running the original bulbs
