The Best Headlight Setup

I Have Been On This Topic For Some Time Now. But I Can't Hardly Find Anyone With A Upgraded Headlight Setup. I Hate The Ugly Brownish Lights And Would Like Some Suggestions On What I Should Do To Correct This Problem. Im In Southern Cali And Have Yet To See A Sedan With Headlights That Are Different From Stock.
The Upper Xenon Light Is Fine But Is There Any Way To Get Rid Of The Lower Lights Without Breaking The Bank?

I dont know if you have HID's or not because its an 03 and the early ones didnt come with HID's. If you do and you say the HID's look fine and you are reffering to the lower lights (FOG lights) The dull yellow color that normal headlights give off. If you are talking about the fog lights then thats an easy fix. All you gotta do is replace the bulbs. In my case i replaced with Luminics 3750K bulbs which is a yellow with a purple tint. They have other options like pure white, crystal blue, and deep purple. It takes about 10 minutes to put in each bulb because you have to get the fender well cover off to put em in. If you are talking about the front signal's that are part of the headlight (ORANGE) then i dont know what you could do about that other than taking apart the whole setup.

If light output is your main concern, get OSRAM Silverstar (not Sylvania). They are the Euro spec Silverstar and they pretty much the best aftermarket bulb you can get. However, they don't match the HID 100%. If you only care about making the fogs match with the HID then you could get the Mtech or Catz from Ebay. Just make sure the color temp is around 4300K. However, they won't light up the road as well as the Osram.

get PIAA Xtreme White Plus H4 bulbs for the fogs - they match HIDs very closely and are fairly cheap, a lot cheaper than doing actual HID conversion.

Like i said check out the Luminics. You can go to my cardomain site and see a pic of my yellow/purple fogs. They also have white, blue and purple. Only $25 and an easy fix for the ugly a$$ yellow/brown stock color.
