i personally run Sylvania Silverstar turn signals, as many others here do. They are blue-rainbowish coated but they flash amber, so they will give your car a cool look when not flashing, but they will still be legal. also, they are a bit brighter than the stock bulbs. i personally love them.

they're basically a universal price, you can find them at any auto store.
the turn signal bulbs will run you approx ~ 10 bucks
if you want headlight bulbs, those run about 40 bucks for silverstars, but those are kind of sketchy at the moment. i wouldnt upgrade headlight bulbs unless you really can't stand stock.

no prob, those bulbs will make the xb look sharper. as for the "sketchy" remark i made before on the silverstar 9003 headlight bulbs, it was because many people experience the bulb bursting or burning out prematurely, typically after a couple months or half a year. HOWEVER, many also have had them installed for over a year and have had absolutely no problems.
to ensure your bulbs won't die out prematurely, DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS PART, only the plastic housings.
i personally use a towel or gloves when handling the bulbs to make sure i don't get any oil on them.
