I'd like to change my FTP bulbs with xenon or xenon-match bulbs. Are there any good brands that sell those? If so, what would be the maximum/minimum wattage I should get?

Thanks!

Personally, I don't really care for the yellow lights.. :S Does Nokya also have regular white bulbs that would match the xenon lights?

Yea if you want a bit brighter and whiter go for Sylvania SilverStar Ultras.
If you want dimmer white light go for BLUE TINTED ebay bulbs. (They suck)
I like Yellow Nokyas because they perform well

Those are blue coated, anything blue coated will be dim. The ULTRAS are the brightest because the filament has more windings and is thicker which causes the bulb to glow brighter.

Oh, I see. Since they're halogen, do they look like normal halogens or they much brighter than stock? I'm assuming so, haha.

You will only notice a diff. if you put them side by side. they look like regular halogen with more glow. The sylvania silverstars are also good, they produce a white glow without loosing so much light output.
I still prefer yellow nokyas, I have them now and they light up pretty good

Hm.. I guess I'll just have to choose one. I would get the H7 ones, correct?
