Default Headlight bubl recommendation?

Can anyone recommend a new headlight bulb for my 07 tC. I recently removed my HIDs and replaced them with Sylvania Silverstars but I don't like the color. I'm looking for the crystal white/bluish look of HIDs. I'm also looking to change the driving light bulb to something yellow.

Your low beam is 9006, and high is 9005, you can't use a different bulb unless you wanna retrofit something else in there. Are you asking for HID kit recommendations? Crystal white/blue is about 6000k. As far as " driving light bulb" is that low beam or high or the parking light?

Here are your bulb sizes:

he doesnt mean change the style of the bulb, just the color. your best bet is actual HIDS...why did you remove them. PIAA makes a lot of nice "blueish" bulbs and for yellow fogs, I would go with Nokya yellows every time

Suggestion:
ORACLE HOD Bulbs

or some other options Halogen Headlight Bulbs

Oracle also has halo kits for the tC in differrent colors

I removed my HIDs cus I didn't wanna blind people anymore lol, I had them in my fogs too. I'm gonna replace my fogs with Nokya hyper yellow bulbs. I bought Silverstars, but the color isnt' what i'm looking for, too stockish looking for me. Thanks for the recommendations guys!

Came across some Noky arctic white bulbs that i'll probably try.

Good luck....I've seen Nokyas and other bulbs like that in some beaters. Look foggy and hazy compared to HIDs. Besides, those bulbs are sometimes more expensive than what you'd pay for HIDs.

Ya I know, plus I don't wanna stick out too much with the cops and stuff, no need to give them another reason to single me out. I get paranoid driving behind them with my HIDs.
