Default Head Lights

Looking to update my head lights. Anyone have any personal experience and recommendations on lamp replacements?

You might want to consider the HID replacement bulbs available on the big auction site (about $130). If you have more money available then the full HID replacement (lenses and housing) is probably the best alternative.
Good luck.

Bulbs w/o projector lens optics is a fools' errand. Test drive a projector equipped C5 at night and you too will "see the light" on this one. IMHO.
