Default Xenons or white bulbs?

Have any of you replaced your head lights with xenons or hyperwhites? If so can you send pictures and links. Thanks

Ben

There are plenty of pics if you do a search...

The majority of the CL have HIDs, most CL members would not think of doing cheap hiperwhites for their cars...

In the long run, HID is the way to go...

I used to run on Hiperwhites all the time and eventually they will keep on burning your wiring harness and the bulbs will eventually go within 2 weeks...It's less expensive to go with HID's in the long run...

Plus...You get 3x the brightness and last as long as your car...

where did you get those hyperwhites from? I found some h7's at the right wattage (so they wouldn't burn all my wiring).

Either pay the $40 for silverstars, or save up a couple hundered for HID.

I did both.

Silverstars and 10w higher bulbs put a noticble more light on the road, but still not tons.

Nothing close to the HID anyways...

I say just struggle with it for a month or two & pay for HID if you actually need *more* light on the road.
