If you want MORE light, get yourself a pair of HID's and be done with it. If you just want more bling, then those filtered bulbs may be an option.
thought hid was a) only legal for low beams in the states, and b) not a good solution for high beams and fog lights because they are designed to be on all the time not switched on and off. they take a little bit to get to full brightness. is that correct??
