B) Replace stock bulbs with Super Whites C) Buy new headlight housing perhaps with bulbs D) Buy High Wattage bulbs for low and high beam. I am currently please with high beam, but low beam sucks. Let me know what you guys have tried, liked... thanks.

Well i have the Piaa 510's and those are the driving lights that replace the fogs, Anyone that has purchased these from the GB i set up will guarantee you that the headlights are no longer needed. Now just for looks and not to get pulled over i purchased the superwhite low beams from piaa and they match my fogs perfectly.

I'm trying to figure out which is the best option as well because I have some cheap Eurolight hyper white bulbs and i can't see a thing. My side markers are brighter than my headlights. 96 Contour LX V6 red ext. with tan leather int.

Cliff.....Are you sure about the 115w? Maybe there 65w that resemble 115w? Because if you have 115w in there you can see about a mile in front of you, Thats before melting the headlights KJB219......Sorry but you just missed a GB for these and the price for the set usually goes for around $210.00-$220.00 the price we had them for were $165.00 and $175.00 you'll have to wait about 3 months and i'll try to get another one started unless you want to start asking around in the GB forum to see if theres interest, If so i need MINIMUM 10 BUYERS to make it happen. 99 SVT Tropic Green #151 of 503/ 2760 total Born on 10/07/98 Adopted 7/15/00 LETS GO RANGERS (looking good this year)
