Do you own a 2k-2k1 or a 2k2? I have a 2k2 & just received my Xenons today. I will post pix after the install tomorrow. I bought them from here: MIDNIGHT MOOSE

I basically bought bulbs to white-out everything inside & out. I'm at work now, but I'll let you know the exact bulbs that I used & post some pix later.

Here's what I know off the top of my head for 2002 models only:

9005 - High Beams 65W

H-3 - Fog Lights 55W

194 - Clearance bulbs

194 - Door bulbs

194 - Trunk light

921 - Backup light (reverse)

3175 - Dome bulb (it fits)

Consider the PIAA H4 Xtreme White. The input power is the same as stock but you get almost twice as more brightness as stock bulbs. Check them out:

I have the H4 PIASS super plasmas and have never had a problem.

Stop touching the bulbs when you put them in.

Are you talking about headlights? Don't the 2002 come with them? If you are talking about other bulbs, they can't be tru Xenon, they would cost a lot more than $15

the low beams on the 2k2 are true xenon but high beams are dull yellow so i replaced mine with the eurolites and eurolite fog bulbs also

How hard is it to replace the stock fogs.Do you have to take the lights completley apart to change or are they quick change like every other bulb on the car.Have not heard alot of good things about PIAA so I think I will give Xenon's a try.

DooBall

i wasnt talking about 'true' xenons. i just call those cool thingies hid.

i meant xenon filled bulbs, and i think eurolite makes pretty good ones. their bulbs are always very bright and white. i dont know if their safe for my headlights though. forgot to read the packaging but they work, and their bright!

piaa bulbs arent bad, but i dont ever plan on buying their h4 bulbs. the super plasmas look good on my side markers.

and changing the fogs is fairly easy. It just takes a minute to figure out what your looking for under the car. but after the first time, you could probably swap a bulbs in minutes.

You get them at http://www.customaxima.com or you can get them at http://www.courtesyparts.com

Greg at customaxima has them for a better price. I might add that it is a GREAT idea to put a sh** load of silicon around the edge where the casing meets the housing. Once you get water in there forget about it.

sure enough I was a slack *** and didn't put any silicon on mine so now I got lots of moisture in there I'm gonna try all I can to get it out before I get another set

Be careful not to be a sh*tbrick like myself! I had water in my drivers side front and I decided to preheat the oven at 100 and then shut it off and put the piece in the oven (It really was not too hot). I left it in there for about two hours and when I went to take it out, it did not look much like the clear corner I remembered! I tired everything that water is soooo hard to get out!

Just keep it in a dry area and don't rush it. Maybe hit it with the hair drier every now and then. My problem is that I rushed it. Then be very very generous with the silicon.
