OK Guys. Listen up. I just got a ticket for a missing headlight. I need to get it fixed in 24hrs to drop the ticket which really means 12 hrs bc i have work at 1:00. The ones i have now i bought at canal st., one works good but the other is gone and has been gone for 3 months(not bad, considering i just got a ticket). So i need ur guys help to find a replacement. Im looking to get another hyper white bulb. One with a real light blue tint, but really bright, im not looking to spend that much. So could u guys give me some brands and where i can buy them. How are the Slyvania Cool BLues? And also how much is it going to cost to put the two new bulbs in? Thanks. Need info ASAP.

I don't know where you live, so I cannot tell you where to buy them. The Sylvania Cool Blues are good. But they are not as bright as the APC head lights which are really bright, but still they are pretty good. Best of all they are cheap. If you can find them, G.E makes 9004 Super Blue bulbs and they cost around 11USD. They are so bright that they are claimed to be illegal for highway, but I doubt you will have any problem with them.

Just goto a local tuning shop and pick up some high performance light. You will never regret.

Phillips Blue Visions are the best for the $$$.....better (yes, I said better) than PIAAS....

K-mart, $10 each, which means $22 out the door for some excellent headlights compared to stock.

I am going to have to agree w/ bill99gxe. I have PIAA's and I compared them to the Blue Visions. Can't tell a difference between the 2.

May be I'll have to get some Blue Visions. I bought some 9004's from a tuner shop and they told me that they emitted bright white but they were the fake Xenon looking bulbs. They suck. I went back to my cool blues.

Thanks For all the info guys

I decided to go with the phillips blue vision and i am very impressed they were 100% better then my other hyper whites. Also when i changing the light we realized that there is a short somewhere, bc when we put the new bulb in it didnt work. But when we moved some wiring and put pressure on certain places it worked. Right after i got it done i went to the 123 prec and took care of it. Funny thing was after the cop came out to check it, i turned them off and then i put them on a second later and they didnt work, but lucky me they worked at the right time. AGain thanks for the help.

Hope you have regular lights where the fogs go. You'll need it for the reduced light.
