I was looking for and still am one with a amber or yellow tint ont hem for the fog lights that a re briter then the stock bulbs. So the will contrast ont eh rad some so you cna see it better. Also for the head lights and the high beams you cna ge tthe lights on Ebay cheap. but you have to watch the shipping on them they might cost you .99 but the shipping will be 30.00 on some of them so becarefule. Also i for get the stock watage but anything over it will help or appear to help . But remeber the diffrent colored ones also filter diffrent shades of light you see. jsut like a carmer lens will. So becarfue what colors you chose on them Red will filter out tail lights in teh distance makeing it a shorter distance for reaction time. the yellow is a contrats to most things on the road and just enough color to make the orad stand out more with out being a color that could hurt you from seeing the tail or headlight sof other traffic. _____________________________ (in reply to vipermann114) Post #: 6

Dont mess around with anymore halogen, xenon, krypton etc BS bulbs, go HID. If you want a headlight with true color, while still being twice as bright as anyother bulb, take the hit on the expensive cost, and really stand out with an HID conversion. I have an 8000K kit on mine, and will never go back to regular bulbs. Ive tried them all. (in reply to 2000LS) Post #: 9
