Default Replace factory headlights

I have a 05 Mustang convertible V6 and was thinking about changing my headlights to white lights from the normal yellow bulbs. I'm not sure on how to do that though. Any advice? And what would be the best lights to get within $100? My friend tried replacements on his car and they kept burning out so I don't know if this is a problem for Mustangs too.

Are you talking about replacing the bulb or headlight? If you want a decent bright white bulb that runs at the same wattage as your stock bulbs, Get the Sylvania Silverstars, the model number are the H13ST, I think you can get them at your local autozone. Thats What I have there pretty good. And since they run at the same wattage you wont burn your housing or anything, and theyll run you about $40 bucks for the pair.

Thanks for your reply, I am talking about just bulbs, not headlights. Has anyone used the Luminics Ultra White H13 Headlight Bulbs? According to their website this is what they claim:

"These bulbs blow Sylvania's Silverstars out of the water. They are two times as bright and they are less expensive. "

Any insight on which bulbs are better?

Yeah I was gonna get these but I heard they sucked from everyone, Some people said there to bluish so you can barely see, or there to bright, or the worst one there melting the housing cause the wattage is higher than the stock bulb, The sylvania silverstars are the best for stock lighting but if you want to take the chance then go for it.
