The ONLY *REAL* upgrade are '06+ BiXenons OR, better yet, use the '06+ lamps as the base for an awesome build-out with better shutters/lenses/bulbs/ballasts, etc. Going from 35w to 55w is, excuse the cliche, night and day.

As an alternative, the only substitutes for OEM Bi-Xenons are DEPO brand, OEM matching lights.

Unless you're just going for the looks, there's NO reason to put anything in other than the above. And if you do go with the looks side, wear Nomex if you mention it.

Honestly don't know how they sell these so cheap when a pair of OEM replacements run much higher but hey....

I had these. Took them out after one night drive. They shine like 30 feet up. You can't see anything
