Arrow Lightss

Ok so i havent had the chance to find all the answers to my question so i need Help

i would like to know what everyone recommends for a Volvo (I own s40 2005) brightest possible head lights without being xenon.. As well as fog lamps…I did just purchase some single led parking light bulbs that r great but now I’m ready to upgrade the rest of the lightning and I’m really not sure where to go as in brand ect …..I’m starting small and am going to continue into modifying engine next J ……Thank you all for your time …


P.s I did find a post on some 13watt lights from Asia and I know they r crap so that thread didn’t help…

I hear they are pretty good.

But if you can go with a set of HID's for the headlights you will love them.

Have you heard of any other sights ^^^^

I did further research to find that there prices were only cheaper if u buy in large amounts so .....

I thought about HID but i plan on only keeping the car for about 10 more months so not sure if i wanna spend like 1k for lights ...

Has anyone tried Piaa Xtreme? It's suppose to be close to HID's, but half the cost and without alteration. Is it true, or do they burn out prematurely?

Dude you can get a full HID kit for $85 and they are good quality too.

SharpHID.com has a 35w kit for $85 and their 55w kit is $110 which is also a great price.

PIAA is close to the same. Spend a little more to get the real deal. PIAA wont come close to a real HID.

If u dont want problems you need get everthing with the kit optional parts....Other wise u run the risk of messing up electronics...such as wiper motors!!
