I just lost my low beam on one side and I had to replace both bulbs to get a match. I got some Hyper plasma bulbs, and they are about a third less bright than the bulbs I had before. The original set was Eurolites' Xenon bulbs. These are brighter than the hypers, the cool blues are not much brighter than regular stock bulbs. Try some Eurolite bulbs, you'll be happy with the output for sure.,,,,,98

Eurolite strobes aren't very bright however, get some real ones if you're so inclined

I have sylvania silverstar bulbs...personally I think they are the brightest hyper whites I've seen. They are not really blue at all, so dont get them if you want the blue looking headlights...but as far as being truly bright, these are the ticket. Every sign for a mile lights up when I cut them on.

Those Hypers wouldn't cut it, I went back to the Eurolites after two days The light output seemed to be geared towards appearance, and not on producing clean bright light. I knew the difference pretty quick!,,,,,98


Now I wish my foglights were that good, got to get rid of the ones I have now Here they are........

sylvania silverstars...

after reading some thread that discussed these and how those folks liked them, I forked out the $50 bucks/set and installed them before traveling one evening.
I am happy that I purchased them and they do make a large difference in terms of light output and clarity.
I would certainly recommend them to anyone considering upgrading from stock lights.

If they are the 9005 or 9006 fog light bulbs, I'm sure at least that Eurolites makes them. They are the standard headlight bulbs in some cars, so I don't see why they wouldn't. You can also get xenon H3's for aftermarket headlights from JC Whitney. I don't know about any other brands, because these are only the second kind I've tried.,,,,,98

I put in the 9005's in place of the 9145's. You have to make a slight mod to the fins on the bulb. You will see what I mean when you attempt to install. Just line them up to the hole and eyeball how much of the fin to cut. Or, you can just force them in, but not sure if they will come out as easily.....

That's about what I paid for mine too, the guy I deal with is pretty reasonable.,,,,,98

The only part number I can find on them is under the bar code??? It shows 9007SB, and that's all. These are for the headlights, Eurolites Xenon "Fusion" series.
