Try Silvania SilverStars...they are highly recommended on this site from everyone that has them including myself. The bulb #'s are 9005 for hi-beams and 9006 for low-beams. You can buy them online at pfyc.com or at a local target. I hope that helps.

then the car freaks in your area are jackasses. silverstars are the best you're gonna find without going to HID's.

Eurolights are decents but they will eventually fire your wiring harness, But if that no biggy then go with Eurolight but make sure they are by EuroEffect, the other seem to fire your harness faster. Or if money really isn't a biggie go HID, and get the 14000, that purple light it gives off, not the brightest light but definately you will get notice.

yes, that means the wiring burnt out from the higher wattage bulb.
Silverstars are the same wattage as stock, so they won't fry the harnesses.
HIDs are the types of lights on more upscale cars. They are very bright, and you will not need to use your high beams any more. They are like $350ish for a cheap conversion. But they won't look as nice withoug a projector retrofit which will cost a lot more.

yeah, eurolights look pretty nice, but the higher wattage will burn out the harnesses unfortunately. I learned that the hard way multiple times. I've had many many different kinds of lights.... eurolights in blue and purple, some japanese brands, piaa, a real HID conversion, and silverstars. Of the lot, I am currently sticking with the silverstars, and i've had them about a year now.
Silverstars won't look like HID, so don't expect that... but they're just about as nice as eurolights and they won't burn out your harness. Of course they are a bit more expensive than regular bulbs.....
Some guys on here have also reported good results with phillips bulbs, which i might try out this summer.

the eurolites will burn your harnesses causing a whole lot of frustration and unnecessary hassle.
i'm probably the 8th person to say this. i have seen it happen on more cars than aleros. eurolites look good but they draw so much power that they literally burn the harnesses right up. they are not fun to attempt to replace.
most people who have the slightest idea what they're talking about will tell you that silverstars are the next best thing to HIDs.
pertaining to all of the "car freaks" around your house...i'm willing to bet that one person tried the eurolites, liked them, told everybody that they were the best lights they've ever used,even though they never used any other lights, and that just snowballed into a whole buncha lies.

lol!! i think u must live near me by the way u kno how the morons are here.
There is this one huge group who sit in a parking lot of our play theater and they think they know all. I had no idea. Cuz I had asked my ex about those silver ones cuz I remmeber seeing them in our hardware store. and he told me they were poop. that Eurolights are the BEST lights u can get. Ive had them since....May and the left headlight went out in december. my ex wiggled it around and it came back on btu he complained that he got a shock or got burned (LOL looks good on him if u ask me B) ) and it only stayd on for about a few days after he wiggled it around. now its been out ever since. if i had known those silver ones were the best besides HID's i woulda gotten up without asking my moron ex and his loser car freak friends! Im glad i kno now tho! Cuz from what i remember, those silver ones are cheaper then Eurolights too....
btw...how much ARE the silver ones? <_<

HID's - High Intensity Discharge. they give the best look since yo udindt care moneywise, they will run you anywhere from 300$-700$ and if you dont want to install them yourself you can easily get some help from autozone or a dealership.
