stock low and high beams
silverstars low and high
9011 and 9012 low and high
and euro t 84s stock wattage and high wattage versions with relays

I'm especially interested in knowing how the 9011/9012 bulbs work. If they fit without mods, I'm going to try them out, but with HiR bulbs. If you don't know much about HIR bulbs, check out this site:
http://www.hirheadlights.com/

You can also check out the links I posted in the C5 General Sticky.

the only mod you have to do is the actual bulb has a thicker tab that goes in the light that needs to be grinded down like the standard lights 9005 and 9006 this is done to the bulb housing itself and not the headlight assembly
