I want better illumination, I'm not mechanical, and I want to order bulbs to have my mechanic install. Thanks to all of you who have been so helpful to this new C5 owner and Happy Thanksgiving!

If you want to stay with the stock housings, the 9011/9012 HIR bulbs are the brightest available. They cost about $100 for all four bulbs. make a big improvement over stock. If you want the best available aftermarket systems, go with either Radioflyer's projector lights or the European OEM headlights. Both of those will cost between $500-$600. Here's a link with a lot of information on all choices.
