Headlight Suggestions

One of my headlights just burt out (already checked the connection). Only 3600 miles on the thing... oh well.

Anyhow, any suggestions for replacement headlights, figured a good time to make slight upgrades. I'm guessing that there's a good chance that whatever light I used won't match the stock one that's still good.

Thanks for suggestions

P.S.
Would be cool if someone said that the replacements at WalMart will work perfect (maybe I could save a little money )

I don't think it'd be under warranty?? Not sure though. I would think that would be considered regular maintenance.

That should be under warranty I would think. I upgraded my '02 to Hella H4's not long ago. I have two of the stock bulbs in my garage. Want one? Just pay shipping and it's yours.

I went with Hella H4s and Hella 55/100 bulbs. LOVE 'em!

hey man, get the Silvania Silverstar, the light is bright and looks sweet too. I saw a special @ Fleet Farm for 20 each.

good luck

I would go find a set of E-Code (european) headlights and a set of H4 bulbs to go in them. 7" porsche headlights fit perfectly. You can find lights and bulbs at www.performanceproducts.com. The're not technically street legal, but they have a much sharper cutoff than DOT approved headlights, which works great on lifted vehicles. I never get high beamed anymore. The light pattern looks kinda like this:

_________/

So they are flat over the road and then shine up on the sides of the road.
