OP BlackSVT98 CEG\'er B Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 59 Asheville, NC	I've been scouring the forums for info on getting some better bulbs for the headlights and fog lights. I don't really want to do any moding to it, just want to find out what's a good brand that fits into the origional sockets. Sounds like Silverstars are good. Nokyas seem good too, but I'm not sure about the blue tinting thing. Is that purely an asthetic thing? That's what it seems like. I don't care about looking like I have HIDs...I just want to see better. Silverstars sound like a nice bright,white light and I think they might be brighter? I've heard mixed things on the forum. Are the Silverstars brighter? What brand should I go with? Thanks 98 Black Contour SVT

The biggest thing is, make sure your headlights are clean; a bulb upgrade won't satisfy you if a hazy lamp robs output. The silverstars have a great color as well, imo.
