Headlights - I bought the Luminics Krypton Titanium bulbs. They are really white and look great, but to be honest, I can't see very well at night. I mean most of the areas I drive are well lit, but I was driving in Central Illinois last week, and they don't seem very safe to drive with. Just my thoughts.

Plug and play means exactly that. You DO NOT have to have anything reprogrammed when swapping tail light assemblies. If you switch the headlights to Bi-Xenon, you do have to have that feature enabled.

I had Sylvania Silverstars in my old car, and they worked wonderfully, and even were bright at night than my stock halogen ones.

Ah ha. Thank you so much for your help. Its just the parts are non-refundable. I need to make sure I won't get screwed. I will be in deep trouble if I bought them and they don't work!

If you want a perfect match then go for the CrystalVision 4300k. If you want to to be near HID looks go for the DiamondVision which is what i ended up with.

No, not yet. Don't have time to install them. Will do so after the new year as I am away for a couple of weeks starting next week.
