    hi everyone,
    i recently purchased a set of gen 1 spyder headlights w/hids. my issue is the high beams are terrible. i am wondering what bulb/wattage you guys suggest for a replacement... i have seen the ebay "100 watt" bulbs. not sure what else is out there...

    thanks
    Bruce

    The Spyders are terrible and offer worse headlight output than stock. Your best bet for replacement is to replace the whole housing.

    Spyder headlights only offer bling that is it. And the answer to your question is retrofit.
