Default Lights/Bulbs...Help Appreciated

Ok, I know I posted about a week ago about what kind of lights to get because the stock headlights that I have now are very dim at night and it's pretty unsafe. Can anyone post some links up of some good places to buy new bulbs/lights? Also, if anyone knows the process of what else I need to purchase, can you please let me know....Thanks a lot!

Want good halogens? Go to your local Autozone and pick up some Sylvania Silverstar Ultras. Try the high-beam conversion if you want to pick up some extra power, check Lexucan's signature for the link to that one. Now if you are talking about HID's, that will cost you a pretty penny.

Those crappy halogens are worthless. I still regret buying them and wish I just saved for a retrofit back then, because that's what I ended up with. The difference between those bulbs and HID are like night and day.

^Do it up but I bet you will end up wanting to upgrade and do a retrofit.
