Default DRL/Hi beam bulb swap

i'm not sure if there's another thread, but i'd like some recommendations on swapping out to a brighter, drl/hi beam bulb.

this thread talks about replacing stock DRLs with hoen xenonmatch plus.. they are a pretty close match to the stock HID. i got the hoen fogs and they match the stock hids pretty good.. there's tons more threads.. just do some reading

While there are many choices out there for replacing your high beams my recommendation would be either Phillips Vision Plus or PIAA bubs. I've used both and presently have the PIAA in the Lexus. the Phillips are rated 50 percent brighter than stock while the PIAA are double the stock output (claimed by both companies).

Do a google for either and you can get the dope you need. I should tell you both are NOT cheap. You can go cheap but remember in this area you'll get what you pay for..... Good luck
