Default Sylvania Silverstars Halogens **PICS**

Here is before with the stock headlights and foglights in:



And here is after adding in Sylvania Silverstar H13 9008 halogens in the headlights and Sylvania Silverstar 9145's for the foglights:



Total for all of these lights was about $60...all found on eBay (alot cheaper than at like an Advance Auto Parts...etc)

the headlights probably took a total of 15 or 20 minutes to take out the head lamp unit and simply replace the bulbs. They plug right into the stock wiring. Its very easy. And the foglights took 5 min. I'll get the pictures up here as soon as i can, but I do honestly notice a drastic difference in how much more these light up than the stock bulbs. Its a much wider and farther looking light, its also a lot whiter than the stock and not yellowish.

I have no use for these in the fog lights.Any estimate of how much theyd be for just the headlights? They plug into the stock wiring.. Or the stock bulb socket?

the headlights were only $20 shipped for a set of 2 on amazon.com...they plug straight into the stock socket that the stock headlights plug into...its pretty straight forward once you pull out the headlight unit

the actual headlight itself...there are 3 bolts that hold it in, once you get those off the whole headlight slides out, and then its pretty straight forward how to interchange the bulbs

Ok i see what you mean man. Thank you for that clarification. Yes its very easy to take off the headlight itself. i can change all my bulbs without taking off the headlight though. Sounds like an easy install. Thanks again.
