Or just some Silverstar bulbs. That's what I run...work just fine. Or the more expensive route would be HID's

Silverstar's.....

hid lights are very beight. In the stock housing, the will temporarily blind everyone you get behind as well as all oncomming traffic. Hid lights were designed to be used with projector style housings. They have a very sharp cutoff. Without that cutoff, you can see better but your bilinding everone else. It's a dickish thing to do, but it's your call in the end. It might be illegal depending on where you are as well.


if you're not sure what I mean about the cutoff, the kia rondo has the perfect light pattern for a hid upgrade.
