Im going to be restoring my yellowing headlights tomorrow and want to replace the worn out bulbs as well. What do you guys recommend for a good bulb that will out perform stock.

Thanks.

I found the silver star ultras at Wally world on clearance for like 10 or 15. Love 'em.

10 or 15 bucks?! That hurts a little. 50 bucks at Auto Zone...

Yeah, I stole 'em. Not sure.why they were clearanced, but I didn't argue.

Well i used turtle wax's headlight resto kit and bought some Silver Star Ultras. 10x better than the ORIGINAL bulbs...... I pulled them out and nearly died. How the f did these things last this long?

I have HIDs, and I would only recommend them to someone if they were going to do a retrofit. It's not the glare that's bad on my car (and it's honestly not bad at all), it's that I just can't see all that well with them. They don't make a decent beam pattern (and mine is especially narrow), and you simply can't see as well with them.

Here's a decent kit to retrofit in HIDs: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/product_info.php?products_id=227

Yea, it's $270, but you will have VERY nice HIDs that don't blind others.

The Silver Star Ultras were exactly what I needed. Considering that I was running the original bulbs
