Phillps xtreme power works real nice .
I wasnt a fan of those silver stars, I had to replace one with in 3 months! didnt feel the 20$ for 1 bulb was worth the replacement if that is what i expected out of them.

Make sure you don't handle the bulb with your fingers and transfer oil ... guaranteed hot spot and reduced life. Here's the bulbs that I picked up: .... actually, not sure atm if I got the OSRAM Night Breakers or the Philips X-treme Power ... but yeah I wouldn't bother with the Silverstar Ultras made for the North American market... bad design, IIRC.

I've used one, yes just one, set of Polarg on my car for the past 6 years, and not (yet) one has blown out. I ordered from ICBmotorsport.com

This was my first set of Polarg, I've usually used PIAA or Raybrig. Yes, expensive, but they are quite bright, last seemingly forever, and of course JDM.

Please do not put an HID kit in your stock EG headlights. The fluted lenses will scatter the light output everywhere and blind oncoming drivers.

If you're going to get HID lights, retrofit a projector from a car that had them stock into headlights with a clear non-fluted lens. You can get projectors from a TSX, TL, S2000, BMW, Land Rover or Mercedes.
