I'm looking to upgrade all that stuff. I want some very bright, very white bulbs that I can put into all of those places. From what I hear I should definetly go for the APC wiring harness, so I think I will. But I'd like to know if anyone has any experiences with good bulbs that fit that description. I've heard PIAAs are great, but they're $$$$. Anything comperable for less $?

In reviews, of all those "HID" bulbs, PIAA makes the only bulb that gives an increase, however it is negliable. the rest of the bulbs, "Hyper-white" bulbs will not be much brighter than halogen, it's all for show, esp. those "Plasma-blue" bulbs.

as for the wiring harness, if you run a high wattage bulb you need to buy one or you'll frie your wires.

Do I need a harness if I just want hyperwhites for my corners? I have slyvania cool blues and they look bright enough to me. How bright do the lights really have to be? I'm not that blind. It'd be cool if someone could answer my first question about the harness and all. Thanks.

Actually, in the latest tests on these bulbs, PIAA failed miserably, while the $12 Phillips jobs you can buy at wal-mart outperformed most of the others out there.

I suggest Hiper Industries 85w bulbs with the APC wiring harness. You should be able to pick them up on ebay for like $30 and they are comparable to PIAA. I had some but I didnt have the APC harness. They worked great for a few months until they melted down.
