I have silverstar low beams. They are 3x brighter then stock IMO and are worth every penny. They are about $40 for each pair. It what I was recomended by every local car place

I just ordered off of Amazon the Silverstar high performance bulbs for the high and low beams. I actually just got done installing the high beam bulbs - the low beam bulbs I haven't received yet.
