I went with the Silver Stars from Sylvania. Makes quite a difference. Dealer put them in for me in 10 minutes, cost me $10 (it is winter here - I don't have a garage)

H13ST is the part number for silverstars.

they are brighter, but don't make that much of a difference IMO.

i put in HID's:
H13 35W Bi-Xenon 6000K - Headlights - $55 - they were only $55 bc they were Bi-Xenon...
H10 35W 5000k - Fog - $35
- DDMTuning.com

These were totally worth the buy. They work wonders and i can see even the little grains of sand on the road.

You should def think about investing your money in some HID's. :BANANA:

I just installed ddm hid raptor kit for my head lights & fogs...Because the kits are universal I found that hard-wiring everything in was my only option. As far as help on the internet went, it sucked. I recently was rear ended by a drunk-driver and he pushed me into another car. I had my KK for about 6 weeks at that point (sucked). While the techs at my shop were working on the front end, I took the opportunity to install the hid kits. I was b-s ing with the tech working on my KK and he mentioned that the grille tabs that are molded on it break if you try to take off, so hopefully i don't have to take them out & they last a long long time. Did everyone else hard wire???
