What kind of car do you have?

On my 993 I run Silvania Silverstars and they are probably as close as it gets to HID at a tiny fraction of the cost.

Be cautious of what you select. Some bulbs run very hot which can melt the wiring harness and others (most) are merely colored bulbs.

Is it the color you're after?

The bottom line is that to get HID you need to have a complete, designed-for-the-car system...from balast to bulb and a HID specific lense.

RickM is correct, IMO. If you really want that bright HID look and road view, nothing compares to real HID.

From http://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/bulbs/blue/good/good.html

It Sounds As If You Don't Think These Are The Best Choice For Maximizing My Headlamps' Performance. What Is?

For those who want the best possible performance from their headlamps and are more concerned with their ability to see rather than the appearance of their headlamps, the major bulb companies offer optimized bulbs WITHOUT the light-stealing blue coloration. Sylvania Xtravision (in the pink-and-black package), Osram Super and SilverStar(outside North America only!); Philips High Visibility (North America), Premium and Vision Plus (outside North America); Narva RangePower are the ones to look for.
