You get new headlight bulbs, like Philips crystal vision or something. Don't get the pure blue bulbs, they look like **** and reduce your visibility. Silvania Silverstars are the way to go, for a slightly blue, but very white light output.

Silverstars are actually pretty expensive, about $50-60 a pair.

You can get em' online at like amazon.com, or I'm pretty sure you could go to a autozone type store and get them there.

Ive been using Silvestars for almost a year now. My experience w/ them: output is very bright and theyre easy to find, since you can get them at pretty much every auto parts stores. The bad thing about SS is that they dont last long, about 6 month under normal conditions. Other brands you may want to look at are Raybrig and PIAA. They are more expensive since theyre not so popular in the US market. The output on this brands are a lot brighter, 5000k in H1 bulbs, theyre also "bluer" than silverstars. They last longer too.

Silverstars are ok, they are more WHITE then blue, but they put out real bright,
Currently I have PIAA's but I havent installed them yet, as im waiting for my headlights to arrive... *shakes fist*

ARe u serious? The PIAA ones at my local tuner shop sales them for 70 bucks. i used to have the xenons, kinda looks blue at night. But i rather stick with stock since its going to start raining, and you cant see the road with those xenons.
