I was wondering if any one could help me find which bulbs i can use for my halogen headlights. Im tired of the stock yellows I wanna go with white or blue for the headlights and with blue for my angle eyes. Does any one know where I can get these bulbs for a good price?

It is illegal to use blue for your angle eyes. For the headlights the best halogen bulbs you can buy are the Philips X-Treme Power H7. You can buy them online from powerbulbs. I've already replaced my halogen headlights and I can confirm that there is a big difference. Yesterday I replaced my halogen fog lights with xenon ones and the difference is even greater.

We have had a lot of success with the Xenesis HyperWhite Bulbs which are direct replacements for your halogen lows, highs and fog lights. For the angel eyes on a halogen car, I believe you can do a standard 194 bulb upgrade in which case we offer LED bulbs in that fit which would work.
