Ive got an 01 and am looking into new lights. I'm think about 100/90W Xenon 8500, which I have used in the past on my WRX and loved. That car had no issues with the increased wattage, but i am wondering if anyone has had problems with increasing the wattage on these maximas? Stock is 65w I believe

Those are the facts.
I was looking at those, but I read some reviews that said their Sylvanias always burned out prematurely. I'm looking for some brighter 9004 headlights too, because as I discovered last night, even with high beams on I can't see sh*t! It doesn't need to be HID or blue, just friggin brighter.

I saw these for pretty cheap on Amazon. Is it easy to install these? The only headlights bulbs I ever replaced were on a 2001 Camry.

I use them, they are OK, look like HID, white but not as bright as I thought they would be, quality is so so, I had one out of box bad, one burned out in a year, but for the price, I can dig that, just order couple of pairs so you have extra as spares.

I don't like colored lights except for fogs. I've got xtra visions in there now and they are probably as good as it gets for the price.

Whenever I switch out these r34 headlights for oem ill pick up a set of hids.

no $6 or $25 or $50 halogen bulb will be even close to what a proper HID retrofit will do...
