I have been to a couple of performance shops around where i live(Lexington KY) and no one seems to have the size bulb i need for the headlight...i want the HID look or Xenon bulbs...the manual says HB2 is there a different size or number code for it...Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

H4

 

H4 is the right size. I put in Eurodezign bulbs in my 05 xA and they are awesome. They are also Xenon Krypton bulbs.

 

i appreciate it...i just bought some bulbs and they look just like the real HID.

 

What bulbs did you purchase?

 

you can check the tech shortcut up top

 

I bought the Eurodesignz

 

sorry for the misspelling...eurodezigns

 

I've always been a big fan of Sylvania SilverStars. I have them in my wife's car and in my last truck, and I loved them. When I got my xA last week, I was actually impressed with the stock OEM bulbs that it came with. So much so, that I debated as to to whether or not I wanted to spend $38 on a set of SilverStars for the xA. I decided that I did want to do it, so I got a set of 9003ST from Wal-Mart. I had my car in my garage to make the switch. After doing only the driver's side (the hard side), I turned the headlights on to see them shinning on the garage door. I didn't really expect to see much of a difference between the OEM and the SilverStar. Man was I surprised! Next to the SilverStars's beam, the OEM's beam actually looked yellow. The SilverStar's light is so white, that a regular bulb looks pathetic next to it. So I swithed out the other OEM for the second SilverStar and I'm lovin' them. Big, noticable improvement.

 

If you really care about light output and not looks, you should get a pair of Osram Silverstars (the European version of the Sylvanias) in H4 size.

This is the truth! I put a pair of Osram Silverstars on my xA and they are excellent. I bought a pair online at the following link for $30 with free shipping:

where can i get this eurodezigns stuff, or silverstar? pepboys/autozone?

 

I got both my Osram and Eurodezign's off eBay. The Eurodezigns are much cheaper than the Osrams for sure. I think Osrams are about $28 and the Eurodezigns are $10. Not to mention the Eurodezigns come in a hard plastic casing so they protect the bulbs very well. Also DOT approved and lifetime warranty.
