Headlights for 2000 Non Xenon 4.4

Tried to search for the answer to the question, but I thought someone would have some suggestions.

I just bought a 2000 4.4 x5 without the zenon headlights. I am hoping to get better illumination from the headlights and/or foglights for safety purposes. Can someone suggest the best mod for me to make regarding light bulbs (without going to zenon conversion). Budget doesnt allow for major modification for lights conversion. If you can make suggestion on part and cost would be great.

Thanks
Bryan

For best illumination non xenon go with PIAA extreme white plus...But they won't look very white or xenonish...If you want the xenonish look and still good illumination go with Luminics Titanium White or Pure blue..they are white xenon looking at night and light up the road very well....Hope this helps...

If you are looking for something affordable, you can just replace the halogen bulbs with our Predator Xenix which are a hyperwhite upgrade bulb to give you a more xenon like output. I don't recommend just putting an HID kit into your existing headlights as the reflector based halogen housings are not designed for the higher output xenons and will cause glare issues.

If you are looking for a true xenon output, I recommend our Projector53 package which swaps out your entire headlight for a projector based xenon with built in angel eyes. This is a complete kit that includes everything you need to retrofit a projector based xenon system for optimal light distribution and a glare-free output.
