replacing halogen bulb

so i want to replace my current halogen headlights with a matching blue color like my HID, do you guys recommend any bulb in particular? maybe good/lasting experience with a certain brand? (minus sylvania)

I got some ebay halogen bulbs that were "8,000k". I searched halogen 8000k and clearly manufactured in China. Surprisingly they matched fairly well. They don't last long though... But then again they are also no more than $10

I'd say 3-4 months. I kept them on every time I drove, just as a safety precaution.

Go to ddmtuning.com the next time you need replacement bulbs. They are like $15 and have a life time warranty. They dont burnout like that cheap **** from ebay.

I bought some GP Thunder off Ebay for like $15 shipped about 2 years ago. They are great. I got 7500K for my fogs & they match up well with the 6000K headlights.

Vision X are pretty good lights.
Lifetime warranty.

I got Philips 6k HID and VX-HH4 I believe and they match up pretty good.

yea i dont need HIDs..those are actually nice, but its 4500k, the ones i been seeing have been 5500k and 7500k and 8500k.. though i may not get the 85000k cuz those just seem waay to bright.
though i gotta say, may consider this.. lifetime warranty is just hard to beat... lol
