How to put in Halogen Lights?

Question

I have a 1998 Pontiac Sunfire. The headlights on it are a joke. I would like to put in some better lights. I'm thinking halogens. Any idea what to do? What do I need? How hard is it? Are there instructions anywhere? Thanks

Answer 1

Your car already uses halogen bulbs. However, there's the "blue" halogens that will give off a crisper light. These are available at your local parts store. Anything above this (ie: HIDs) will require modifications to add to your vehicle. Try cleaning/buffing your lenses with 3Ms chemicals (also available at parts store).

Answer 2

Most of today's cars come w. Halogen bulbs. Looks like you had one of the older halogen bulbs (where they look like a dark tan.) Do not put the blue/white/ purple bulbs in your car. I had those put in a truck about a yr ago. The bulbs are too hot and burned out the socket and the wiring. It cost me a lot to get fixed. I traded trucks a week later lol. You can buy a pair of Quick silver, They are a bright Halogen bulb

Answer 3

As said, you already have halogens as standard bulbs so replacing them will make next to no difference. The xenon ones are not going to be much better as they are only a different colour and not much brighter.

Answer 4

I had the same problem with my sunfire it was a 2000 and I put newer brighter ones in and I still couldnt see decent so I sold it. Thought it was my eyes but I have no problems with my new car.

Add aircraft landing lights that go on with the high beams...

Or KC Daylighters....
