Default 1998 V70 headlight replacements???

Any advice on a good set of replacement headlight bulbs? I'd like to get the cool "Euro white/ blue'sih" tintedbeams (so I can at least look cool), but not sure which ones since there are so many claims by different makes. Any advice? Hopefully ones I can find at a local car parts store? If not, I'll just go stock and save my money for the same stock effect. Thanks.

1. If you want a cool look buy HID's. You can buy them from $125-$280. MyDepots is $125 with a 14 month warranty and SharpHID cost $280 and comes with a LIFETIME warranty. If you go with either you wont be disappointed. However I highly suggest going with SharpHID.com , John is great is a great person to deal with.

2. If you want just replacement bulbs I suggest just buying either OEM bulbs and or the Sylvania Silverstar replacements. I had Sylvania Silverstars before I got my HID's and I was happy with them. But HID's well are just 1000% better.

Thanks. Does the HID require a whole conversion set-up to run? At least that's what I've always understood about HID lights.

Um when you buy HID's it comes with everything you need to run them.

1. HID bulbs
2. HID ballasts
3. HID wiring

Very easy to install. An hour tops.
