One of my headlights went out and I was thinking of just replacing them both. I want something effcient with low current draw and good lighting. I don't care what color, but looking for something that is good for the rain. I don't live in a rurual area, so plenty of street lighting, just some difficulty in the rain sometimes. I have 9006 headlights.

 
I have used many of the hyperwhites. My favorite is the eurolite xenon fusion bulbs. Have also used Nokya stage I and II, and eurodzines bulbs. All of these have done me good, but my favorite are the Eurolite bulbs.

 
silverstars are sweet...they are not 50 bucks unless they are different prices/specs...autozone near me has them at 38 bucks for the pair for 9007 i think.

 
Silverstars are the way to go.

If your headlight is a 9006 socket, you can mod high-beam 9005 bulbs to fit. 1700 lumens (9005) vs. 1000 (9006). Did this with Sylvania CoolBlues in my daily driver and haven't had a burnout for 2 years.

But it can't touch my Sylvania-Osram 4300K OEM HID in my Acura TL. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

 
Check out Luminics.

I went from SilverStars to Luminics.

I won't ever go back... and the Luminics are cheaper, and have MANY choices of colors, finishes and such...

 
get a HID kit, you will not be disappointed
Yeah you will.

TERRIBLE optics. Hot spots. Poor cutoff. If you blow a bulb (from a poorly made "kit"), it's going to be very hard to find replacements.

Not to mention, HID kits are illegal.

If you want HID, projector retrofit is the only way to go.

It would also be easy to add an equalizer to have individual rca inputs for all of the channels. A decent one can be had for less than $40...

One or two, they are still subwoofer outs and are mono summed signals from both left and right. Even the 2 RCA subwoofer pre-outs on the 2nd one...

There are a couple of options. You can use a marine bt unit. They come in the size of a hockey puck and can mount anywhere. This is the marine unit.

There are bluetooth amplifiers. You can just use your phone or an I Pod as the music source and not touch the radio.
