I don't want HIDs. Period. Thanks anyway though.

Also, can I get specific model numbers for these bulbs, that seems to be the hardest part. So when you bought yours what was the model number?

Also I will not use eBay.

Part numbers! LOL

Thanks, Dan

I really hope no one gives you the part numbers....

how hard is it to go to google and type in autozone, advancedauto, napa etc...

Come on man....



Ebay is a good source for parts, just have to make sure the seller has a return policy.

Well you can really only use the stock bulb type, so when they say PIAA's or Silverstar's, just use 9006, 9005 (I think lol) for the high low. pfyc.com. But they can be kinda $$

I finally got to a computer, I went to AutoZone.com and found what I needed.

All I have is local parts shops here and an OReilly's and they didn't have any in stock and were gonna have to special order or some bullshit. Thats why I wanted PART NUMBERS so I could tell the places exactly what I wanted. I will just order them online rather than through them.

Thanks Nick! I knew that it took H11s and H9s but then there is all this other letters and crap for different bulbs so it was confusing until I could get on my laptop.
