Yeah move this thread please, however I'll answer a lil bit.

Just get the right size bulbs 9006 low's, 9005 high's.

What kind of bulbs are you getting, you can have low 55watt bulbs that shine at 100w.

Just check out your wiring harness, you might want to grab an extra set, cause they seem to go first.

I like to use the Silverstar Bulbs, Piaa, or Rayburg headlights. The nokiya brand aren't very bright.

I just bought the philips cool blue lights, ran me like 12 bucks on sale for 2. not as bright as the silverstars, but brighter than the stockers.55 watt

Those sound cool, but at least in my experience cool blue can be hard to see with.

Put em on try them out and see if you can see, If you install them and a bulb goes out, check the harness, you might have to buy a new one already.

The cool blue look "cool" by the way. I loved em, just couldn't see with them

fyi.... you'll most likely have H3's as lows and H4's as highs


don't waste your money on the silverstars...mine are sittin in the garage. Go get some street glow or similar ones. The silverstars rock in some vehicles, but in the projectors as H3 bulbs, they did not impress me at all.

OH yeah, true say, I foget he had the projector housing now. They kind of suck for visibility in the first place.

Upgrading the puny bulbs in aftermarket projector headlights tends to lead to melted connectors. Plus, the added heat produced by the higher wattage bulbs contributes to premature bulb failure. Get the cheapest bulbs you can get. You'll be replacing them often (as in twice/three times a year).

This was my experience. Not worth it.

EDIT:
Also, wrong forum.

Hey. you should buy a xenon kit, it´s the best!!

My projectors use H3 (low-beams) and H1 (high-beams) bulbs. Those are the bulbs the headlights came with and I haven't changed them in two years. They work just fine for me. I notice a lot of newer designs for projector headlights though, so they may have changed a few things. Your mileage may vary.
