Default Headlight question

I know this is a dumb question, I want to make sure I get the right part. I already did a search here and google nothing came up. I remember a few months back seeing that the sylvania silver star UVs were the best Bulbs to get, what is part number and headlight part number, please. I want to find it on amazon, because Autozone marks the price up bad

I bought the Silverstar Ultra for my 02 Camaro. #9006 is the low beam.

I recently had a headlight go out and wanted something with more power/visibility. I decided on doing the HID swap. I ordered a set off of eBay, and I paid a bit extra for the 55w units (9006 type.) Remove your existing light and you will see a black plastic ring around what looks like a 9006 lightbulb. I grabbed a pair of channel locs and grabbed ahold of the bulb portion of the light and started to twist. I shattered the fitting, but kept twisting it gently back and forth. Finally, the housing separated from the light. Once I got them apart I cleaned up the point where the old bulbs were siliconed into the housing. Open up the HID kit and put a big bead of silicone around the bulb. When I stuck it into the housing, the silicone blobbed out. I used my finger to swipe around it and smear the silicone to form a bond between the housing and the bulb. These ignitors were easy to locate, one beside the batter and one by the air intake assembly. The kit came with weather pack connectors and plugged DIRECTLY into my stock headlight plugs. NOTE: if the lights do not work, you probaly have them plugged in backwards (it happened to me.) Switch them around and you should have the best light money can buy! BTW; 6,000k light is pure white and looks GREAT. Visibility is secont to none with this set-up! If anyone is scared to do this, I would be wiling to do the work and ship them out.

Good luck.

All of that was based on the early 4th gens (with twin lights on each side), not the newer style with the single enclosed headlamp assembly.
