Ok I'm stupid. Question about lights

ok I'm not trying to be a *****, but I like the look of the new really bright light. I dunno what they are but they are SUPER bright white lights. I would like to replace the headlights and fog lights w/ em. but I have no clue what htey are called or where I could get em. any info would be great. thanks

A lot of people like the look of the HID (High Intensity Discharge?) lights like those found in Mercedez Benz and BMW. I saw somewhere on here that there's a conversion kit for third gens. Try a search under HID.

Maybe a cheaper way for brighter lights would be to upgrade your existing wiring harness with thicker, higher resistance wiring. Then installing higher wattage lamps.

Sylvania makes a nice sealed beam replacement called a SilverStar. Advance Auto carries them, they are cheap at $28 a light, and right now, Advance has a buy 1 get 1 at 1/2 off deal.
