Default Confirm and questions before tC bulb swap.

Confirm sizes

9006 high
9005 low
9006 fogs
???

Recomend low/safe wattage brand/bulb for a touch of Blue without drawing too much wattage and smoking harness or switches!

Thanks

Scott

id go with luminics. i have them. buy the upgrade harness and you dont have to worry about burning your harness.

I don't get the upgrade harness... It only "upgrades" a small portion of the wiring... the rest is still the stock diameter. How does that help?

stick to stock ratings. Anything that you have to upgrade wiring harnesses for it not worth it IMHO.
Silverstars are the best OEM replacement bulb that use stock wattages.

Ditto on the Silverstars... great light output... absolutely zero wiring issues to even think about. And a nice white color.

Ive been running 9005s for highs lows and fogs for the past few months with no melted wiring at all. With the eyebrows on the headlight assemblys I never get flashed either. It keeps the cutoff low enough so people dont get blinded. You have to chisel out those little grooves in the socket and modify the retainer ring, but they give fantastic light output. I did the same thing in ym old car and loved it. I just went and got the replacement 9005 sylvanias at Kragen.
