Do you have HID's now? If you do, upgrade the bulb to a 6000k helps some. If not you have to get better bulbs and make sure the lenses are polished. I have to polish mine and reports are it makes quite a difference.

 

4300k HID will get you the best visability of any temp. xenon.

 

those guys are right about the xenon lights but if you don't want to spend the money and time installing a kit, PIAA bulbs work really nicely as well. They're like $70 for a set. Just make sure when buying aftermarket bulbs that you get the correct wattage ones. 55w is OEM on that model. Any higher will burn up your wires and you will have a shitty problem.

 

HID's are definately the way to go. My brother put HID's in his truck and they were rated at 5000K, and all i can say is that they were BRIGHT! Try to find a rating between 5000 and 6500k.

 

anything with a temp higher than about 43-4500k will not produce as much visable light. They will look blue or purpleish.... they look kinda nice but when you get up to 6000k or higher, the less light you will have to your advantage. My advice is to go with 4300K HID's

 

I have 6000k HIDs right now, but have 4300k bulbs on there way. The 6ks look purplish blue in the fixture and blueish white on the road. I regret having bought the 6ks in the first place. Get yourself some 4300k hids off ebay for 140.00 dollars and get it over with. Anything else and you will be dissapointed, I always was.
