since hid's are too much i decided to install some silverstars for now. I won one on ebay for half the retail price (around $15). I have to say they are worth it. they really made a difference. from up close you can't really tell, but from a distance, and when you're driving, it really enhances the look and visibility. So for anyone who's thinking about replacing those oe lights, go for it.. you'll be very satisfied.
