It is easy, but not very simple. Takes about 45 minutes to an hour.

HIDs, easy, great night vision. Order online.



PIAA extreme white plus, very simple bulb replacement. Local Advance Auto.

I will have to agree with jtibbs on the piaa xtreme white plus.They fill the headlight with light and have an excellent beam pattern.Koito white beams are another great replacement bulbs as well.Dont get the crap from advance auto, Xenon Pilot or whatever.I did that and was dissapointed.

Here check these out.

Easy there Mr. Twister. I can get PIAA at Advance. It keeps the sales local versus 'e-tailers'. Just so you know, Advance, and some other parts houses, actually offer brands such as Sylvania Silverstar Ultra, Hella, and PIAA. You do not always have to look to the internet.

Brad, it's cool man. No harm, no foul. Just a slight misunderstanding.

Actually you do have an Advance, but it is only one. It's down in SoCal.

TO ALL

Please be a little more polite and respectful towards each other. Stop this bickering.

got to a junk yard and rip them right out of an escalade, bmw or anything that had them...ballasts and everything....everything comes in 9004 bulb size now.

if the bulbs aren't 9004, who cares? buy the bulbs off ebay......at least youre not paying full price for the whole kit.

we do it all the time.
