Welcome to the club...

First off, please don't type with all caps. That's sort of like yelling.

As for you question... use the search function on this matter. There's been lots of different bulbs tried and folks have all posted their opinions.

Save your money...don't get the PIAAs, they're good but at $65 a pair...it's ridiculous. Go to your autoparts store and buy Phillips BlueVisions or Sylvania Cool Blues.

I have the GE version of the hyperwhites. They are about $16 a pair at Walmart. They are really bright compared to the stock bulbs. I agree, dont get the PIAA. They are too expensive. Sylannia and GE works as well.

I got the Sylvania Cool Blues. They seem no different than the stock lights. I wanted to get 80/100W but all there was was 45/55W - it was at Pepboys.

The result was dissapointing.

I have the PIAA's and I don't think that they are that much brighter than stock, they are more white. I would be more disappointed, but I didn't pay that much for them because of a carparts.com screw up. I've seen people with the APC superwhites (higher wattage) and the wire harness and they look much better. If you don't mind spending the money for the harness then get the APC superwhites, closest thing that I've see to HID in a standard bulb
