OMG Internet!
Default Bugeye Headlights

I was telling Dean about this for Sue's wagon tonight.

It's an email between me and Daniel Stern of http://www.danielsternlighting.com/

I have a 2003 Subaru Impreza WRX. The headlights have been cracked open to paint parts of the housing black, but I don't think that matters.

I have "high performance" 9007 bulbs from NAPA in there now.

>NAPA doesn't sell any 9007 bulb worth buying. The best 9007 bulbs presently on the market are the GE Night Hawk 9007NH and the Philips VisionPlus 9007VP. I don't presently stock either bulb, but www.amazon.com seems to have the 9007NH on permanent sale.

Avoid Sylvania Silverstar/Ultra, Wagner TruView, PIAA, Hoen, and all other brands of blue-glass "extra white" or "xenon matching" bulbs. They are a scam; despite the advertising hype, they significantly reduce headlamp performance rather than increasing it.

Best DS
I've been running the Night Hawk's for almost a year and between them and keeping the lenses clean and polished, they're actually adequate.

Deals dead, but to give you an idea how cheap they get: http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1801353
