Just soliciting ideas on which bulb to get for high beams. I just want something bright and has a good field.

I was looking at the Eurolites (based on photo's from Autotoys) and the Blue Visions because they're quite reasonably priced but judging from some posts in the other gen boards they're a toss-up.

I've heard Sylvania Silverstars are good too but haven't seen anyone use it.

I considered changing my highs too, but I feel like the stock "yellow" is more safe? Am I wrong?

as long as you use the correct wattage and don't use those $15 dollar brand bulbs, it's not that much of a difference.

How often do you guys use your high beams that you want to change them?

Quite a lot these days.

What type of bulb are the high beams? H4? How do you change them?

I'm would like to go with one of these. Excellent price. Free shipping and better than PIAA.

I think the All Weather would be cool for the high beams:

I actually got the PIAA Xtreme White bulbs for my high beams. I could not stand the look of the stock high beams. They are not much brighter but at least they don't look yellow either.

PoppaZ

How did you change them? Are they H4?

Also what type of bulb is in the top running light? How is it changed?

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Sweet links. So 9005 type bulb will do the trick for hi beam?

Like this one?:

Weird type of connection (is this what it should look like?):


Imagine 9005 HIDS in the high beams, rewire fogs (for use with high beams...maybe do hids in the fogs HID = lows, highs, and fogs at the same time-> sun burn people!

I was considering those too. I'm also considering PIAA Platinum Super White. Let us know how it goes.

PoppaZ

It has everything but the High beam 9005. Do you just turn it clockwise and pull it out? Also what wattage can our 9005 harness handle?

I used the PIAA xtreme white 9005 bulbs. They seem marginally brighter, but the nice white light they produce makes them seem alot brighter. Not the cheapest bulb at 65 a pair, but anything is better than yellow bulbs.
