Default Headlight Upgrade?

Worth it?

Halos?

Can I just change the stock light bulbs to a better one?

What are my options?

you can get different bulbs that might be brighter... and im not a big fan of halos... i say leave it unless it is a problem, if it is a problem upgrade to HIDs. otherwise save the money and spend it elsewhere....

This reply is totally off topic, but I couldn't help noticing your sig Rdot9. I am considering applying to ASU myself and I was wondering how you like the school. How's the campus, city, people, etc? Any info would be great!

I've heard nothing but good about ASU.

All my hs buds that go there are enjoying it


Oh... and the headlights... Ford HIDs are neat but they can get pretty costly.
My best guess is that you'll want to spend the $800 elsewhere

Save the dough for some HIDs, save the $800 for gas LOL get some from Retro-Solutions, they're top-notch and install is a breeze =D

get some 8000K HIDZ from ebay or ur local alarm installer shops they go anywhere from 50$ SHIPPED TO YOUR HOUSE (EBAY) , up to 350$ depending where u go.... the 50 dollar ones will last about 8-12 months from my personal experience.... heres a pic of mine cost me $120 bucks off an alarm/audio system shop, pretty simple to install just make sure they come with relays that connect direct to the battery. i think they look awesome at night.












good luck bro
