I am sure this has been covered before, but I want to change my headlamps for the brighter blue tinted ones. I get confused about exactly what lamps can be used. What is the replacement bulb, and what exactly can be interchanged with the stock bulb? Any info would be appreciated. I plan to remove the reflector on the low beam.

H3 headlights. They have one white wire hanging from the bulb. Available at most any parts store. I think I paid $9 for a pair of blue tinted ones. Easy to get to and change out without tools. Good luck!

I have been looking for the last 2 days and cannot seem to find any blue tinted ones. Whites are a dime a dozen. I talked to the parts guy at the dealer and he said that the wattage was 30 or 35. Do you know if is this true? I was able to find top of the line Sylvania 65 Watt super bright whites for $20 bucks apiece. But still no blues. Got to have them match the blue windscreen. Do you remember where you got them?

I believe the bulbs are 55 watts. Go to one of the trick car shops I bet they have the blue ones ...or autozone...

Got mine at AutoZone. I have seen them at Target, too. I had some trouble finding the blue ones, too. The blue tint just gives it a cleaner white light, I don't think it'll match your windscreen! Mine are the Pilot brand bulbs. $6.99 each, upon further reflection. They are in fact 55 watt bulbs.
