Default Headlights and HID..Could use some info//opinions

My car is a black 2006 Monte Carlo SS..hoping to add some pictures soon but new to the site.

Looking at getting new headlights, but could use some opinions//information on a few things.

From what I have seen other users put on and talk about, I have found these that I like.

Anzo
Depo
and ebay also has some ccfl ones that appear similar to the above but not sure on the quality if anyone has purchased these?

Also as far as HID what do most do for this and/or where is the best place to purchase them?
Also see some talking about chrome blinker bulbs from ebay to remove the yellow look, anyone have any more details on these or what bulbs specifically?

Any opinions or information would be greatly appreciated, Thanks guys and gals!

Which bulbs looked bluish? The chrome or the silverstar?

For your turn signals look for something called a "Stealth Bulb"

Stealth Bulbs: The Accessory Your Ride Can't Live Without - Stealth Bulbs
^Link^

For HIDs, I assume that your ANZO headlights are projectors? So you just need to get HID bulbs + ballasts and put them in. Use what the others were saying when it comes to that.

I would have went with Depo, but didn't like the style as much, so will see how these pan out..

The stealth bulbs seem to be a great idea, exactly what i was looking for, even found a coupon for 10 off to that link so they were only like 22 with shipping

Yes they are projectors, and ill look more into the hid bulbs and ballasts on ddm

Thanks for all the info and such guys

/edit
Looking into ddm and the hid, is this the kit most people get? or what i would need?
http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/DD...ast-35W-or-55W

Also, what bulb type, wattage, would be best, and would an hid harness, error eliminator or adaptor cables be needed?
kinda a rookie when it comes to lighting :/
