Brighter Bulbs?

I want to make my headlights brighter white. I have the halos, do they make brighter bulbs for these?

if by "halos" you mean you have the rs package and your bulbs are stock then they are the latest and brightest headlights around! if you want to change the bulb to see if that helps then get 4300K or 5000K d1s hid bulbs! ONLY of you have rs lights. if your headlights are base reflectors then i would recommend silverstar ultra or whatever!

My high beams were illuminating overpasses better than the road so I dropped them down with a 6mm hex key. Now they are OK but brighter would be better.

Are you not already getting enough headlight flashes from oncoming cars as it is? You want brighter than the factory HIDs? Please reconsider. Those super bright white headlights are so obnoxious, not to mention somewhat blinding to other drivers. They are a hazard to others, IMO.

Do you have the illuminated rings around your lights?

This is incorrect information. We have 35 watt ballasts, he can get brighter bulbs at 55watt and it'll be brighter.

The only downside is that our ballasts are connected to the bulb so they cost slightly more.

Check on http://www.automotivelightstore.com/home.aspx
or you can go to http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/DD...ast-35W-or-55W

The RS package means you have a projector headlight which is inside of the Halo rings. The halo rings are the ones that are circular and usually always on when driving during the day time. The projector comes on either when u turn it on, or when it gets darker outside. Rs packages only came with Model LT's and higher.

The halo rings are LED. No bulbs for those (obviously). The headlights are HID and are already stupid awesome bright. They put every halogen to shame.
