Default Which Headlight Bulbs to get for 2010 GT

I have a 2010 Mustang GT and I am looking to upgrade the bulbs on my headlights and fog lights, I am thinking either 5000k or 6000k. Any suggestions, brands, where to get them?

I made the switch to HID's on my BMW and I really dont want to go through that right now without having my garage with tools (just moved to a temp apartment) so the bulbs is my temp fix until I move into my house in about 8 months.

Thanks in advance for the help.

did your BMW already have projector lens, though?

I can tell you cars without projector lens with HID bulbs thrown in, not only look poor, but they blind other drivers with the amount of glare they throw all over the place.

IMO stick to bulbs intended for your configuration or pony up for a retrofit if you really want HIDs

They initially didnt but I installed a new projector headlight and then did the the upgrade to HID's.

Any suggestions on bulbs for now??

I bought some replacement bulbs off ebay this weekend. I will post up how they work when they arrive. Lots of folks use Sylvania Silver Stars, I went with a different option.

i went with the 5900 but they were a bit too blue for me,
so i went with the 5000 and its bright and has a nice tint of blue to it.

Where did you find the 5000 ones? I agree on the 5900 they have a little too much blue too them. I was thinking 5000.
