Default Budget Lighting Upgrade?

I'm interested in a budget lighting upgrade for my '97. I don't need xenon's for $700, but I'd like to know who has the replacement bulbs I've seen advertised in the mall section. I believe they're around $50. Do they work and what's your impression?
Thanks

I assume you are talking about headlights, but one budget upgrade you can do is replace the fog lamp bulbs with the 50 Watt version. I got mine at NAPA but they are generally available.

Stock foglights are like 30 or 35 Watts. Also you can adjust the aiming to point them up slightly. They come adjusted way low from the factory. Makes a huge difference.
