Default head lights

Need advice on replacement headlamp bulbs for 2000 C5. Looking for brightest (whitest) plug and play bulbs without any additional wiring .... ie harnesses, relays, etc.

Recently, I was driving south on I-75 from Flagstaff,Az in mountains at night at 85 mph...I now know what " driving beyond your lights" means.

Appreciate any info...

HIR bulbs are the best bet in a halogen bulb replacement.

You should check out the plug & play HID's.

There is an added ballast but install is a breeze
