Headlight: 9007
Foglights: H11
There are PIAA & Sylvania lights for our cars. Also do a search and look up Halo kits. This should help!

i want the hids and or halos but i had thought the halos were only coming with the projector headlights that they kinda made but i guess are still in production my only concern is i had a friend who had put brighter headlights in his old car and they kinda melted the harness and damaged his electrical system

well i have heard that PIAA lights were pretty good lights but expensive, i guess as long as the wattage and heat output is not more than the stock bulbs then it should be ok but i would personally just save for the HID kit

i mean basically im lookin for a much brighter clearer bulb without having any problems if it costs alot i wont do it but right now itll probly be a yaer or so before i feel like getting the hids cause ill wait until the new headlights come out so it really is worth it to me right now
