I want to upgrade the actual low beam headlight and was wondering which ones you guys thought were a good buy? looking for a more of a blue-er look... ALSO, what do you guys recommend for switching the fog lights out to something a little cleaner and crisper?? Thanks for help. New to this type of thing...

 

I did a 6000k bulb which is a more blueish color and looks great. I think our factory fog lights in our cars are a joke. I just swapped it out with a multi led bulb, again with the bluish/white color.

 

sorry I revive this but I think I am having a similar issue. I thought I had a bad bulb (initially it would go on and off, even while driving, reseated it several times) and the seller sent me a new pair. Now if it comes on it says on, but when its cold it won't come on unless I flick them off and then on again (and it slowly comes on over a few secs, you can see it growing brighter). However my stock bulb works fine -but is no way I have 3 bad replacement bulbs lol. I am still under warranty, but I know if I take it in they'll tell me not to use aftermarket bulbs and charge me for looking at it due to install of non oem parts.

 

what are the factory bulb specs? I planned on the sti-r lens swap, but never thought of the bulb.

 

yea im doing the sti-r swap this weekend.right now i got 8k bulbs but i just bought some 6000k bulbs to put in there,so u get the white light but the flicker of blue and u get better out out,im gona pt the 8ks in my fogd just to add some color...

 

let me know how the sti-r swap goes im going to be painting my headlights and if the swap isnt too difficult i wanted to change my lense too

i thought we had to remove the bumper to get the headlights off of the car?

this might be easier then removing the bumper when i blackout my housing.

 

looks like the bumper is unbolted to me. cant tell for sure tho

 

To replace the pass. side ballest yes you have to remove the headlight assy. I just unbolted the pass side bumper bolts and clips and snuck the headlamp through. Not easy by any means, but i saved time. Just had a friend hold the bumper bach as i pulled the headlamp through.
