Be aware that some bulbs are illegal ie Euro blues in Ontario and some places restrict the use of extra lamps on road ( in some places they must be off and covered ) even factory installed units. The silverlight and other premium bulbs are ok Just check list at dealers Canadian Tire or Part Source for number then find it in the type you want but replace both at the same time. We ran Sylvania Silverlight in both our 1994 Voyager and 2001 Jimmy with improvements in both lighting systems. As for hid's ask Derick as his H2 modzilla has them.

After the birthday party will work ;-)
I currently have stlvania silverstar ultra installed in my truck..I have had 6000K HIDS, and took them out, Boring Jet has those installed on his H1 now but no high beams, then I installed some other 6000K Hids from Pacesetter, not bad but I had some electrical problems with my truck and kept not having enough juice to power the ballasts..so I like the sylvania silver star ultras that I run now..
As for the 24th, it would be great if you could at least pop in.

I am using Philips Crystalvision 9007 for headlights and PIAA xtreme 3157 for DRL. Nice white light on both.

I got my Crystalvisions from costco as well. The PIAA xtreme DRL came from performance improvements.

Try Part Source and Walmart as well. Parts Source is usually cheaper than its parent Canadian Tire. also check for two packs cheaper still. Oh yes we got a ticket for the blue euro's but got it reversed when we changed lights with in 24 hrs.
