Default Upgrade for OEM headlights?

I have a 98' Civic HX with stock everything. Is there a modestly priced upgrade on my OEM front headlights without going to HID? I'm hoping I can just add a higher performance bulb to upgrade my lighting. Is there anything that you can suggest that might do the trick? Thanks

I like the PIAA xtreme white and raybrig whitesonic....at the time I couldn't find the GE nighthawk, those are three are truly some of the best bulbs I've ever experienced for non-HID bulb.

Luminics is crap IMO...got a set of the UV bulbs and the were dim as hell and burned out after 3-4hours of use....got a free exchange from the shop and the 2nd set lasted maybe 1 month (AND NO I DID NOT TOUCH THE GLASS OF THE BULB AT ALL)

Phillips X-treme power &gt; all.

And if your headlights are hazy at all take some 500-1000-2000 grit wetsandpaper to them and buff em out with some car polish/plastX. That will help immensely.

Where can you get these other than eBay? The ones on eBay are coming from England...is there nobody domestic that sells these? Thanks

No domestic sellers. If you'll read my thread, you'll find a link to Autolamps Online, a company based out of the UK. It usually takes about 7 business days from the time the order ships out to get to you. Well worth the wait.
