I've been using the Silvania SilverStar and have been loving them. Though not as bright as HID lights, I think they're pretty close, and provide excellent coverage at night. They're about $20 a bulb, but I think they're worth every penny

yes buy for 97 and under cars the lighting sucks, i think im going to get some big *** fog lights and use them all time lol </font>[/QUOTE][img]graemlins/stickpoke.gif[/img] oops- I didn't look at what kind of car you had. I just went with what I have. sorry 'bout that

My goal is to increase actual lighting performance and not mimic HID. I think that's just stupid when you go after look than function.

So, as a quick summary:

1)replacing bulb gives limited gain -&gt; not worth it
2)HID conversion costs at least $1000 if not more, but is the best way to get a true upgrade in lighting performance -&gt; too expensive

it will cost you around $400 for HID. All you need is the housing to fit the "bulb" and to buy the HID kit.
