I know there is a definite difference in the color of the light vs. the halogen. I don't know if they make a bulb for the fog lights, but you'll need four bulbs for the head lights and the high beams. For the $80 it costs, they're much better than stock. Maybe not as good as the Litronics, but much better than stock halogens.

Is xenon really giving you better lighting and visibility or is it just all for looks?

4 bulbs? I thought the hi and low beams were both inside 1 single bulb (dual filament)... I must be confused. So do I need 4 H7 bulbs then? Thanks again.

You need 4 H7 bulbs.. The high beam and low beam bulb are identical..

I just did the low beams in my car as I almost never use the highs. Now my old low beams are my spare high beam bulbs

The fact that it "looks" cooler is an added bonus. If the lights are projected properly, xenon is superior. And honestly, once you go xenon (on ANY car), you will never want to go back to halogen bulbs.

And if you like xenon up front, I also recommend LEDs in the back. I have the LED center brake light and it looks pretty sharp. I love the look of instant on/instant off action of LED. (I need to post pix of that, I haven't seen it on any of the cars on here.)
