I put HIR bulbs in mine. They are a nice upgrade over standard.

They look like a stocker, but they have more power. High Intensity Reflective I think. There was a thead over on the Place about them a few yrs ago. I guess you can get the equiv. to the low beam at John Deere dealers. I found a guy on Ebay that had highs and lows. You have to trim the Tabs a little to get them into the housings. They are off from the std bulbs.

They look interesting. I just dished out probably too much for the Silverstar premiums for both low & high. Very white light. Took me a while to get used to but now I'll never go back. The box said the lifetime on these bubls were way low compaired to normal halogens. I wonder how long those HIR bulbs would last.

I run HID's in my lows, highs, and my fogs. I love them and they put out a lot of light.

I love them and even if they burn out faster I'll still buy more. Still a lot brighter than the standard with no stupid blue tint. Just very clear white.
