Do a 9005 mod to fit your low beams. U can either do it with your stock bulbs or buy 9005 silverstars and mod those.

Um, no. HIDs do not come in "cool blue", they come rated at different color temperatures. Xenon gas infused halogen bulbs come in "cool blue". If you see "get the look of HID" on the box, then they're just colored ricer lights and will probably reduce actual visibility.

I love my PIAA 9005 bulbs, modified to fit in the 9006 projectors. Even with the slightly blue tinted glass, they produce white light with no traces of blue in it.

Silverstars are another excellent choice.

You can't just "buy" hid bulbs, it's a whole different setup.

But if you're not going with hid, high beams in the low beam spot is the next best,
such as a few other people have already said.

All you really need to do is cut the top notch on the bulb,
I cut it completely off and it works fine for me.

And I'm also using stock bulbs, nothing special.

I have the SS 9005 in my car, noticable difference over stock 9006 but I've yet to try the 9005 PIAA bulbs.
