stock headlight bulbs upgrade

i want to upgrade my factory bulbs to something brighter with maybe a tint of blue without dishing out the money for HID's. does anyone know what the best bulb out there is and the cost? i think this topic came up a few days ago but the search engine doesnt work

I picked mine up on ebay, they were actually 5000k, and still went with the factory bulb sockets. they are cheap, look nice, and easily replacable if they burn out.

be sure to upgrade your harness if your going to run higher wattage bulbs.. you can find those on e-bay too.

hey billy_corgan, did u have any problems with those bulbs as far as the heat and your wires and harness? i mean its not gonna melt them are thay? and also those r 5000k, is that the highest u should go with stock wires and harness without the risk of heat? i was wondering cause on e-bay the have 5200k. would there b any noticeable difference in 200k, or should i just stick with the 5000k to be safe (heat)? thanx
