Default Xenon bulbs

Are Solaris bulbs worth it? What is the least expensive way to get better lighting from a 97, without buying new projector headlights or HID's?

Default Re: Xenon bulbs

From my previous experiences with those Xenon bulbs and "HID-Looking" Bulbs are not satifactory. They look cool and some looks identical to HIDs. But they are extremely bad in rain. You can barely see those in front of you. I have to run a pair of yellow (gold) foglights to compensate for the lack of useable lights on my Nissan in bad weather. I do not recommend them.

Default here you go...

i listed two places...

as MT A4Q said, not the best in the world for sight, but they look *cool.* i have a set in my fogs to match my HID's- close enough.
