    Hey guys, just picked up a nice '07 GT with 40K miles. I'm not knew to Pontiac, owned a '87 6000LE, '93 Bonnie SSEI (to date the most comfortable car I've ever been in), '00 Bonnie SSE, '95 GP and now the '07 GT. I love Pontiac, hands down.

    Is there any Headlight/Foglight (HID like) that you would recomend? The Car still has the factory Bulbs, and they suck. I was thinking SilverStar, but wanted to get your opinions first.
    Maybe a matching Bulb Kit for the HEadlight and Fog Light?

    Thanks !

    If you want upgraded lighting, there's a guy on the forum who can build you projector HID units relatively cheap. He's either in the For Sale section or under vendors...I don't remember.

    Before you go for the brightest bulbs and blind the other drivers, do you need to restore the lenses? I've seen them get yellow and scratched, and that's really the problem you should fix first.

    I use SilverStar ultra's - ONLY for my high beams when there are no other cars around. But I also have new housings/lenses.

    Yeah, I checked the Lenses aren't yellowed or scratched. I'm thinking of going with the SilverStar Ultra's too. Thx.

    Instead of new bulbs, you should look at getting some retros. Those would look a lot better.
