I think they are called Sylvania ZXE headlights. I run them on my car and they are definitely bright. Otherwise Sylvania Silverstars are also good. I run them on my truck.

I know people are gonna say that you are not supposed to do this but I had HIDs (6000K Temp) in my OEM Headlight housing and OMG them suckers were bright and it was exactly what I needed for these dark streets.

X2 for ZXE's, I've been running them for about a year and they're definitely better than stock.

hid's in a reflector light scatters the light everywhere,blinding and ******* off oncomming traffic..With a projector style you would be fine..

Silver star or the ss ultra would be a fine choice or add an led light bar..I have been heating the zxe's dont last like the ultras do..Ill be awaiting the results on my change over as well..

Was looking at LED's also, wondering if they have the same "issue" as the HID's do in a stock housing. Any takers?

This all comes after a news article where the Toyota Prius was the only vehicle made that had headlights bright enough to get a even a "good" rating.
