Well I wanna get those super white headlight bulbs, they come two in a pack. I am a scion newbie so don't make fun of me, but I seriously see 6 headlight bulbs on my car, so do I really need 3 packs of the bulbs? Thanks. :doh:

High beam, low beam , and parking lights.

Which ones do you want to replace? (my guess is low beam) the size depends on the year, so make sure you get the right bulb size.

Well if I don't replace them all they're gonna look pretty stupid while on, a mix of bright white and yellow correct haha :P I was just thinking about buying them at walmart since they have them, hopefully the ones they have are the right size not that i'd know the difference :nails:

you dont drive with all of them on do you? look for size 9006 bulbs and replace the low beams only. no need to replace the high beams, parking lights or blinkers. get sylvania silverstars or whatever they sell now?

id just save and buy HIDS. those ultrastars look good but burn out fast.

I personally have Nokya Arctic White Bulbs (Stage II 7000K) ....The Low beams do burn out fairly quick (every 6 months or so from my experience) but I have usually been able to find a pair on eBay for like $15 which ain't too bad until I can find some HIDs to go with....

Spend the extra money and get PIAA's. Then you wont be replacing bulbs every 6 months.
