    you can get ricer bulbz from any auto parts store. but usually they will have a blue coating on the glass, which kills light output. if you want bright lighting with a hint of blue, get HIDs

    You can get them at most Autozone, Kragen, or Pep Boys stores. Bav Auto used to sell PIAA lights, those were pretty sick, i'm not sure if they still sell them though. I would just make sure to get blue lights that flash white, so the cops won't hassel you as much.

    Hey man, I know you probly don't want to hear this or don't care but it's worth a shot. I had some ricer 100w blue bulbs in my car and the light they put out was total crap only i didn't really realize it at the time, they were in the car when i bought it. One went out on me a few weeks ago so i was forced to change them. I bought the Osram Silverstars and installed them lastnight and the light they put out is 70-80% better then the crap they replaced. Just trying to help you out, I feel alot safer driving at night now 'cause i can acutally see... Imagine that.

    I also suggest silverstar's....I just changed all the bulbs in my car, and they are great. They don't shine blue, just bright white.

    Sylvania silverstar bulbs will shine a bright white...if you want blue bulbs, get sylvania cool blue bulbs.

    As stated, Silverstars are one of the best bulbs you can get, without going HID. PIAA also has a high quality set of bulbs, they are like $100 and almost burn at HID temperatures.

    Also, I had SYLVANIA "Cool Blue" bulbs in my 3000GT, before I upgraded to HIDs, and yeah...they offered a small help in lighting, but not much. I say go with Silverstars, more light for your money.
