    I noticed that my passenger head light is dimming, it really ticks me off because I just put Wagner Tru View lights in back in the end of October. I cant believe one is dimming already, im going to see if I can return them and get my money back.

    Now im wondering what I should get next, I was thinkin maybe the wagner Lazer blues. What do you guys think?

    Don't even bother with those, I had some similar to those and they were absolute crap. Oh and FYI don't get higher wattage bulbs unless you plan on upgrading your wiring harness. Just get some HID's and be done with it, they will last a lot longer than normal bulbs anyway and will be WAY brighter.

    As stated you better upgrade to a wiring harness unless you want to melt them with high wattage bulbs. HIDs are the best option. You spending just as much as getting a set of HIDs. Save your money for some and look into a set of GE nighthawks or some philips bulbs.

    Before you get HID's look into the Phillips Xtreme +80 bulbs. I just put a set in my 02 and they are great. Definitly worth the price AND you get to keep your high beam!

    Sure no problem. From what I remember installation wasn't hard at all, everything is basically plug and play. The only somewhat hard part was finding a place for the ballasts and securing them, but all I did was wedge them underneath the headlights in between the bumper and the hard foam part below that and then zip tied them in place.
