|
|
| Ok, just got the xd tonight and I am going to head out to purchase new headlight bulbs on Thursday. What do I need to look for as far as fitment goes? Do I look for the 90003 or whatever? Will any bulb with that number fit the xd? i really dont want to spend 50 + bucks on light bulbs so Im just going to try out some cheapes but want to make sure they fit. |

| H4 is 9003 and HB2 will work. Check out Sylvania for the right bulb sizes. |

| i picked up sylvania silverstars (9003), spent like $40 bucks if i remember right. dont know if youll be able to get any quality headlights that are better than stock for less than $40, but then again, i havent really looked that hard. |

| Yeah, went for the silverstars at walmart. They are like 37 bucks so i went for it. I did notice that Sylvania makes an even brighter bulb than the silverstars but they are about 60 bucks. They say they are 50% brighter as opposed to the 30% gain. Anyone tried those bulbs? |

| Silverstar Ultras are what you're talking about. They are a bit brighter, but I wouldn't worry about looking for them if you already have normal Silverstars. Those are great bulbs on their own. I used all 3 types at one point on my tC and love them all. |

| Skip the silverstars, they burn out very fast. Save up and get HIDs. |
