Default which ones????

ok so i cant afford hids, im in collage and i dont have a job, so expensive parts are kinda out of the question. i love the look the hids, but was thinking that this would be easy, and would achive the same look. i chose the NOKYA Arctic White Pro Halogen Bulb (H11, Stage II), with the same but 9005 for high. another option would be the Luminics Pure Blue (H11) Headlight Bulbs. jus wanted to see yalls opinion, heres the web site for both

NOKYA

If you're really strapped for cash, why not go for blue headlight and fog light overlays?

You keep it simple, and you keep the stock bulbs (which are actually quite bright compared to most aftermarket bulbs). And the good thing is that you protect the glass also from chips or debris...

Make sure to get a lifetime warrenty on the bulb. I actually bought an off brand on Ebay for $22, I think they look better than the stock cream look, but they are still not yellow enough. I am going to buy the yellow vinyl.

Down here when we say Yaw rate sensor, we have to clarify it. So most people won't confuse it for an occupant estimating sensor.

Didnt you read, the guy don't have no "money" to waste, hence he is buying bulbs.

I recon there is nothing wrong with going bulbs only. Go the Nokya.
