Default Brighter Headlights

I am looking to make my headlights brighter. I love the look of the HID and projection just cant birng myself to spend the money on either. I want something a can plug into the stock plug. Any suggestions of bulbs or anything? I like the blue tint to the lights also

The only way you're going to get brighter lights is by spending a bit of money.
To go the cheap way, buy some 'expensive' replacement bulbs, like Silverstars ($50).

For an actual increase in light,
- HID's
- HID's + Bambi Mod
- HID's + Aux Lights
- HID's + Aux Lights + Bambi Mod

A good set of Aux lights will run you around $250 or more.
HID's, depends where you get them from, and what kind of quality.
And the bambi mod (fog lights and high beams) costs about 5 cents for a piece of electrical wire.

I have the piaa ultra white light. They just plug in. A huge improvement over stock.

The Phillips Xtreme White is probably the best plug-in replacement halogen on the cheap. The only way to do better than that is HID projector retrofit which costs about 10x more but gives you 50x the performance.
