    IMHO.....but im also biased...

    HIDs. 35w. 5000k. Look good, function well above halogen bulbs and, if aimed properly, wont blind people nor look stupid.

      I thought hids required some mods to be used in a our headlights? I am kinda just looking for something that I can pop right in. And yes I agree hids done right and not super blue do look good

            I know how to change a bulb..and I also know the correct size bulb for our car. I was just asking what is the brightest bulb possible to get for our stock headlights that are not blue tinted like posted above 4300k is stock. Can we get brighter bulbs that fit the oem harness/assembly without modifications? i have just the basic sylvania bulbs right now.

              I have been seeing people on other forums recommending PIAA intense white bulbs. And others saying the Sylvania SilverStars are brighter than stocks anyone have some experience with these?

                      Had the PIAA Xtreme White before, nice and bright, but exspensive. Last month went with the Regular Sylvania Silver Stars (Blue Pkg), bought them from Advance Auto with an online coupon for 40% off (look in Fatwallet for coupon codes), they also come with a 1 year warranty, so you can return them to the store for a replacement if they burn out.

                      Not as bright as I would have liked. Seems to be only about 15-20% brighter than stock, but with more of a white light.

                      If and when they burn out, will go with HIDs, just like you I didn't want to do any mods, just plug and play. HID kits are now less exspensive than PIAA's.

                      Cheers

                        FYI, there are 2 versions of Silverstars.

                        There are the regular Silverstars, and then there are the Silverstar Ultras, in a brown package, and they cost like $60, which is twice the price of many HID kits.

                          I had DDM 6000k in my Accord. Awesome light output, but got lots of complaints about glare from them, especially in the rain.

                            I have 30,000k Hid bulbs in my stock headlight assemblies and they're honestly among the brightest I've seen. 12,000k, are also very bright but by far the most light you'll get from any are supposed to be 6 or 8,000k. (btw 30,000k is pink or green and both colors can and will get you pulled over)
                            Being normal is probably the lamest thing you can try to be

                              30,000k HID is going to give you less light than an OEM bulb. You're losing output for color.

                              Honestly, if you want solid light output and want to get away from running HID in a housing that isn't designed for HID, go with the OSRAM Silverstar (not Sylvania), or go with the HIR bulbs. Lumen output is what you want to strive for.

                              Personally, I would NEVER run HID in a car not designed for it.
