Best headlight bulbs to put on an OEM headlight?
I want it to give off that BMW glow instead of the yellow light that comes stock.
But I hear they burn really hot and don't last?
Also - installing fog lights? The process is done how?

*How do I fix this dent?*
*And these scratches?*
*I'm guessing this is where my fog lights go? But do I take off that black pieces that looks molded on?*

I did some reading on those and I got mixed reviews too.
How do you go about installing them? Talking off the headlights and such.
And yeah I bet you can see I need a mirror too lol.
But - it's pretty much all stock. I just can't deciede what I want to start doing to do it. Ideas? :D

You don't take off the headlight to install new bulbs. You don't even need tools.
Open the hood.
Behind the headlight you will see a black rubber boot with a plug going into it. Press the clips on either side of the plug and pull the plug out. Then remove the rubber boot.
There will be a metal clip holding the bulb in. Press the clip in and down (IIRC - you shoudl be able to see ho it's hooked in place). The clip will swing open like a door.
Then you can pull the bulb out.
Installation is the reverse.
If you want what BMWs have, you're probably looking at HID lights. You'll need a full conversion for that. There's plenty of threads on it already and I honestly have never done it before.
I drive with SilverStars and they're enough for me when paired with some foglights.
To install foglights you'll need to first figure out which brand you want. I'd recommend OEM Honda foglights from Honda.
You'll have to cut a hole in each of those two little "vents" in the front bumper. When you go to Honda, ask them for a copy of the instructions. It's free.
Wiring is easy since it's all just plug in with stock. Aftermarket will be of lesser quality and probably won't use the stock foglight harness that's already in your car.
http://www.car-part.com can help you find a used driver's door, fender and mirror.
I'd suggest you get a lip kit, wheels and lower it for starts. Keep the color because it's uncommon to see some of these colors on modified cars.
Here's the sedan thread btw:
