please :

a good replacement halogen bulb that gives off brighter lights are sylvania silverstars

you can't have angel eyes like the OEM, but you can probably try Umnitza to see if they've developed an angel eye kit for halogen headlights

you can just replace the bulb. I'm pretty sure its a H7 bulb. You can go to any car store and pick up a sylvania or other good brand bulb.

Since, I went through all this a month ago and am a nice guy, I'll save you the searching.

According to most forumers with halogens, one of the best and brightest halogen bulb is the Silvania Silverstar Ultrabright/white and can be found at any Pep Boys or commercial auto store.

Angel eyes for halogen headlamps are non-existent at the moment unless you want to open up your headlamp and glue or burn them on (highly not recommended). Also, EBAY HID conversion kits do not work because theres no room for the wiring. This is probably the reason why I paid ~$1000 to get Euro Non-adaptive xenons and did the retrofit mod. [do if interested]

There's a minus of having an annoying error that pops up every time you start the car (for about 10 secs "5 secs, my ass") or when the car detects that the headlights need to go on (darklit tunnels, etc.). In the end, xenons are definitely worth it IMO and so are those angel eyes, so I would save up.

You can get rid of the error, for another ~$500, but youd lose function of your high beams. If you are a true baller, you can get everything to work, put have to put out some serious $$$$.

PM me if you have any other questions or try searching. Good luck.

Ok, so since im practically a moron when it comes to these things, I found that there is so many different ones, all at different watts i assume. Which ones do I get, and would they work for fogs aswell?
