I would like my headlights to have that white-blue look to them. I found these bulbs for around $20

silverstars usually run $40-$50. probably one of the better bulbs for lighting the road other than HID's

A word of advice... do NOT go for regular coated halogen bulbs. They suck quite hard. :) You can get a HID kit for your Solara for around a hundred bucks, they last longer and have a much better light output. Trust me on this one. :)

I actually have the Halo Platinum 7200K ones:

(I know it's with the fogs on but the light output is still awesome)

They're not bad, but like all light bulbs, you have to have it properly aligned before you can see its magic... The above was taken about 1/2 an hour after aligning it.

If you decide on going with the sylvania silverstars, any auto zone or advanced auto parts will have them.

HIDs or nothing. no subsitute for what you light up.
more color in halogen bulbs= less light output.
= more hazard. = :(
same goes with HID, but it's for sure not as bad as halogens.
where many hate, few will love,
But for those who love,
they'll see what it's like to live.
