Be careful....techniclly any headlight color other than white is illegal in CA. Don't know if you'll get pulled over but FYI.

I just replaced both of my HID bulbs. It took about two hours and wasn't bad at all. Just pop off the bumper and you can get to everything. I took the headlight assemblies out and put them on the kitchen table to replace the bulbs.

The real pain is the price of the bulbs. I was lucky and bought my OEM replacement bulbs for $90 each. This is a real bargain, since the local Honda dealer wanted $175 each and had to special order them.

stock lights are good enough as is

Wantone posted up a link of the CHP's rules on car mods a week or so ago, tinted lights are a

But... having no front plate is also a no no....

IMO the stock lights are more than goodenough to serve my needs.

I wouldn't mind having brighter high beams. Does anyone know if there is a higher wattage high beam bulb that would plug into my S? I would like to have about 20-30 more watts for the high beams.

I understand that I can not exceed, I believe 65 watts. But it is also illegal to drive with high beams on approaching oncoming traffic less than, I believe 400 ft which I would never do.

I don't care what color the lights are, I just want more light for driving in the country.
