its a H7 bulb cost about $30 for a good pair of sylvania silverstars, otherwise tehy can be cheap as $15, installation is as follow,
1. remove teh cap on back of headlights
2. pull out connection and unclip the bulb
3. replace bulb

you can get a good set for about 80-100 bucks but worth every penny best bang for your buck mod you can do

^^ agreed i got mine from vvme.com like most guys for 72 shipped, yeah youll see it like 42 for the kit and 30 for shipping but thats how they get ya. but def worth it since many kits sell for 250+. get H7 bulbs (just need the low beems) and get 4300k if you want the most light output or 6000k which is till good, anything higher and its be bluer-violet but not good for driving. everythings plug and play.
