Headlight Bulb Switch?

I was just wondering if it was possible to switch out the stock headlight bulbs with Xenon bulbs. This would be a much cheaper alternative to switching out the whole fixture.

Thanks.

HID conversion or just Xenon colored bulbs? Either way, yep you can.

PIAA Xtreme Whites and Plasmas are good from what I hear. They go for like 65-80 depending on what site you get them from. Ebay has them. Or you can get the no name brands for like 10-20$ on ebay too.

If you want the HID look for around $70, then PIAA Plasmas are good.

If you want REAL HIDs and don't mind losing your HIGH beams, then for around $450 go with the Panasonic HIDs from Hogan(yo_its_ok).

I was searching around the net for good prices and I came across a site called http://street-looks.com . Have any of you guys bought threw them? If so, how was the service? They seem to have a pretty good selection and reasonable prices. Thanks for the advice and info.

i dunno, man... i had the Plasmas and quite frankly they're pretty POS. you lose so much light from it. looks pretty, but you can't see a thing.

What do i suggest you ask? RAYBRIG. go for either the White Thunders or Magnum Whites. OH LOOK! there's a group deal going on right now in the Group Deal forum! would you look at that! they cost a tad more than cheapy ebay crap, but i'm sure a lot of people on here will attest that they're great.
