buy yourself an hid kit and you will never be happier. one of the best mods i did! you need a dual high and low for the headlights. although its not reqired, you just wont have high beams. i have a hid kit in my fogs and heads! the plug in bulbs are a waste of money. paid 200$ for heads kit and 150 for fogs.

Why not get some Cibies and H4 bulbs (and upgrade the stock wiring).

Do a search for Cibies and you'll get lots of info, I have a pair on order from Daniel Stern.

I think up to 130/100 watts is the highest he stocks and these will work with the wiring harness he sells. Most people are happy with the 60/55 though since the optices are so much better, and the bulbs last much longer since they aren't as hot.
