I can put brighter bulbs in my stock housings right? I need help finding the brightest bulbs legal and that can fit in my stock housings. I am not particular on what color they are, as long as they illuminate the road the best
Thanks all Matt

A few of us went for the Sylvania Silverstars. They are a white light and don't take any move voltage than normal so it won't burn out the wiring. I found mine at Wal-Mart.

Which ones are the brightest? Such as, which model should I pick up?
Will they help a lot over the stock bulbs?

Matt,
If your talking to me, there's a limit to the wattage you can put through the wiring harness. You want to stay with everything stock except for the bulbs, your limited. Spend a couple dollars, go to Wal-Mart and pick up a set of Sylvania's and replace the low beams. You'll definitely see a difference from the OEM bulbs. Other than that, do a search of HID in this forum. It's lot more work and a lot more expensive but they're probably the brightest things on the market.

But which bulbs should I get? Aren't there different options like 6k and 12k etc?

The headlights are the 9006XS. Just look on the packaging for that number.

If you don't think they are whiter and brighter, you can package them up and Wal-Mart will always take them back or let me know and I'll buy them from you. I can always use a space couple of bulbs.
![]() Warning: those Sylvania's are so much brighter than the OEM bulbs that if you have the fog lights on at the same time as these lights, it makes the fog lights look dim and yellowish. After I put them on, I went back to Wal-Mart and bought Slyvania's for the fog lights.

No, the high beams are a different bulb altogether. They are hard to get at and change. I thought they did a decent job of lighting the road when I used them which is only about 1% of the time. If you want to change them, look for a 9005XS bulb.
Neither of these will harm/melt the wiring as they take no more wattage then the OEM bulbs. I've had the low beams and fog lights in for well over a year with no problems.
