http://www.crutchfield.com has some Farenhiet ones that are what I'm using now that are very good. Brighter than stock and in the day you still may see a little yellow but not like stock and at night they are a very bright white intead of the yellowish like stock they arnt that blue but they are a nice bright white that you can actually see better with unlike the blue ones. I had bad luck with the Eurolite 9006 bulbs they carry. I had them burn out in like 2 months then the second set burnt out in about the same timeframe. The 9005 high beams I have had for over 2 years now though and they still are working *knock on wood*. A friend had Eurolite Xenon Crystal bulbs in her car and they didn't last a year but almost don't know how long exactly but probably 10 or 11 months not sure though and they had a really blue tint to them and looked nice but suck in the rain. Just don't get 80/100watt ones unless you want to upgrade your wiring as it will melt your stock wiring and maybe housings also. Go with the 55 watt low beams and 65 watt high beams like the stock bulbs. Cardomain.com has some lights also and seems to have good prices. http://www.luminicsbulbs.com/ also seems to get good reviews from people on here using them. The Silverstars are also good I like both them and the Farehiets and think one of those probably would be your best bet and you can get those at your local Wal-Mart or Advance Auto Parts or store like that.

Oh Sorry I just assumed bulbs. In that case Nopionline.com, JCwhitney.com I'm sure there are lots more.

To be exact, he didn't ask for either. It was a very general question. If he has said headlight housings then yes you would be correct. Simply asking for aftermarket headlights leaves the question open
