Default Stock Headlights Color Vs Ebay bulbs?

I searched and found the bulbs are 9005 and 9006 one for hi/low beam. I turned the lights on the tC in the lot and couldnt tell how they are really. I want to make a more hyper white from a bulb, and I cant afford hid right now nor really care to. I went on ebay and seen a lot of bulbs for like a great price, just curious what is the best to get ? Xenon, hyper white, blues, krypton or something pressurized etc...Anybody recommend any certain type over another? Or are the stocks white enough or just plain dull?

And lastly are they easy to change out? Or is it a pain, some cars they are easy to access, some its more of a pain to than bother

Thanks!

Hit www.supremepowerparts.com, they make good quality ultra-bright bulbs. I've had mine in my headlights since february and they're still bright and nice. Type "Scionlife $25 shipped" into the comments section after you order to get the SL price.

Hyper white = less light on the road.

Please don't reduce night time visability for the sake of looking cool (which it doesn't). It creates glare and looks really cheap.

I agree! Nokya bulbs are great! I have then in my truck and love them. I've bought lots of brands of bulbs and found these to be the best for the price. I bought mine from here http://www.xtremewhite.com/

Xenon, hyper white, blues, krypton look fukcing cheesy and reduce actual light on the roadway. Either wait and save money and get HIDs(which I wouldn't) or keep what u have. Cheap knockoff bulbs usually have a very short lifetime(maybe 3-6 months).

Yep that's the ones I have in my truck. I have 12 Nokya bulbs in the front of my truck. They're actually a little brighter than stock and I've had them for over a year with no problems.
