I want brighter headlights. I dont know anything about them. Do I need a dual beam bulb, i mean are dual beams for regular and highbeams? Is H13 the best? What brand?

There are two ways to do brighter bulbs:
1 - replace stock with Halogens (such as H13 or Sylvania Silverstars); halogens should be listed as H## or 900#; 9000 series halogens are often blue-tipped to mimick true HIDs. This is easy to do, since you are just changing a light bulb.
2 - replace stock with HID kit (includes a ballast box that needs mounted near the lights); rated in Kelvin temperature, where the higher the number, the more blue (or even purple) the light appears. Since these bulbs actually emit a light that is in the blue end of the spectrum, they reflect off objects better to create more clarity in the darkness - that is their advantage over straigth halogens. Also, my buddy and I installed a $65 kit from ebay (still working great!)... so be sure to shop around.

Regardless which you choose... you probably should get projector lights (which block off the top of the light beam to create a sideways "D" shape). Then you won't be blinding oncoming traffic with your new, intense lights! :happyhapp Also, it may be illegal to use HIDs or halogens without having projectors in some areas... :so

About 6-8 months ago, I replaced my amber parking light lenses with clear. It looked pretty cool in daylight, by at night, YELLOW. Not cool. :nono: I wanted to brighten things up a little, so I called Sylvania--
I just got off the phone with Sylvania....
