here is a little write up from the late great sirkbac http://cbr929rr.com/hid.htm
His website is awesome, never seen such attention to detail. It's a shame what happened to him though.

QuinC - Hey if you're not digging the cost associated with the HID kit, I put some Brite Lites xenon bulbs in last year and they are 100% better than stock. I believe they cost like $26/pair...
Cheaper option than HID. Not sure how they compare to Silverstars... never seen those.

Edit: Nevermind. Just noticed this is an old thread.
+5 for Sylvania SilverStars (make sure to get the American version not the European Osram version that's not as white). I replaced all 3 (low and high) on mine and it makes a huge difference. Can't tell a big difference from HID's either and it's much less expensive (not to mention DOT approved and street legal unlike some HID kits).
You can get SilverStars at most any autoparts store like AutoZone or Advanced.

I had Piaa bulbs in my last car. My explorer that I have now has sylvania silverstars, but my bike I went back to PIAA extreme white bulbs. by far the best on the market other than of course HID.
