headlight bulb
since it is getting darker earlier and earlier i was wanting to put new bulbs into my headlights. i dont want to pony up the money for hids so what is the best and brightest bulb out there.

ANY aftermarket bulb has GOT to be brighter than stock. Nokya arctic whites are definitely better, luminics white. PIAA bulbs are awesome but pricey. The stock bulbs are borderline non-functional.

i use xenon bulbs, gives you a much whiter look than stock, only like 15 a set. deff not hid's though haha
correction, i was useing xenons, just poped in halogens

im gonna prepare to be flamed for this, but I actually can't stand HID's. They are too bright for me, especially when they dont have the auto-turn feature, which angles the light during a turn.
My reasons for this are that the HID's provide TOO much contrast at night between the unlit area and the lit, it makes it hard for me to see the exit of the turn when im on my approach/tapping the apex. It just doesnt let my peripheral vision (which is much sharper than your forward sight) see in the dark. You all will think im crazy but I find halogens work much better at keeping my peripheral sharp in the unlit areas. there IS a reason all the GT-2 cars use halogens

I get xenons from ebay. 10000k 80/100watt. they're like 13 bucks a pair. I do have to change the bastards like every 4 months though. They're pretty bright compared to stock.
