Rep Power: 0 Want some LEGAL headlights for my '01 Civic
Hey guys,
Totally new to the forums and just spent the last hour reading a bunch of DIY's and a bunch of threads. I recently bought an '01 Honda Civic. Had a lot of stuff already done to it, so that's pretty cool.
One of the things I would like to do is get some new headlights instead of the stock headlight bulbs. But HID's are supposedly illegal?
So can anyone point me to a link where I can buy some bright headlights that will fit my car? I'm not into the blue or purple headlights. I want more like a diamond or crystal white color.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Try Sylvania Silverstars, you can get them at Autozone. Be prepared to replace them within six months to a year though. Aftermarket bulbs typically don't last very long.

philips xp from www.powerbulbs.com are the brightest legal 55w H4 bulb available on the market. its a clear bulb, whiter than oem, and much brighter. lasts about as long as the regular bulb too.
