Default Cool Cheap Headlights?

So I have a pretty much completely stock 99' Civic 2 door coupe, and I'm interested in making it a little more... interesting.
I want some headlights - I was thinking like blue or so?
I was wondering if anyone knew of a website(s) that have good quality headlights? The other thing is I need them to be reasonably priced.

Thanks;

MCC

pretty much any headlights you find on eBay will work just fine, you just need to seal them up with silicone.

I'm not a fan of eBay. I want a trustworthy website that I don't have to use paypal for.

You realize if you do that you will be paying 2 times the money for the same exact product, right?

Anyway, if you don't mind being ripped off compared to ebay prices, go to andysautosport.com, they have a pretty large headlight selection

You'll still need to seal up whatever headlights you get.

Yeah... and I just gotta clarify something; when I said headlights, I actually meant bulbs. What color bulb in your guys' opinion looks best?

procivic.com , k2motor.com , passwordjdm.com

like trustdestruction said your paying twice the price for the same stuff. i would go with ebay and seal them up and it would be just as good

for HIDs, you can't cheap out

if you just want blue tinted bulbs, go to the auto parts store and get Sylvania Cool Blue bulbs.

in my opinion, pure white ~5000k, looks best

i have 8k HID lights and they have a blue tint to them. But rememeber you will get what you pay for so i wouldnt cheap out or they might not last that long. Also, the higher up you go in the color spectrum the less light output you will have to i wouldnt go much past 8k or you will lose light output thus defeating the purpose of headlights

^+1 I got a 6000K HID kit and it's got a nice look to it. It's pretty close to the stock color of Nissan's newer HID equipped cars. A bright blue with a little white.
