by Xenon, you're meaning HID headlights?

if you want green or blue output, those will be "cheap s%^T" as well. Get some 4100K HID phillips or at MOST, 6k and you'll be set.

It would appear that you are looking for those cheap blue blubs at Pepboys for $15-30...

DONT GET THEM! They can fry your wiring harness. If you're not going to get a REAL HID kit then it's not really worth damaging your wiring system.

Pick up a bottle of Meguiar's PlastX at your local Advance Auto Parts, Autozone or Pep Boys for about $6. It'll bring your headlights in like-new condition with not too much effort

Tymboo, Word of advice..double check the bulbs you bought to see what the wattage is. Anything over 55w is no good. Take them out..return them and either get a real hid kit which can run from 200-400 depending on brand and set up or get a set of blue bulbs that run at 55w. If they fry your wires its ganna cost you a lot to replace and it will happen eventually so might as well take care of the problem before it happens.
