Hey Everyone.

I wanted to get some opinions/suggestions for replacement bulbs for a 97 GA SE. I want to replace the Main "middle" nighttime bulb, the signal bulbs and the bottom driving lights. Basically all of the except for the daytime running lights, (whats the point the only come on in the day).

I have been comparing the specs on the Silverstars, Liteglow and other brands. ANY SUGGESTIONS, thanks.

Would you guys suggest keeping the signal and headlights and driving lights the same brand.

Naw... I doubt that it matters. I have the SilverStars for the headlights and the fogs, and I've got the good ole' stock bulbs for the signals and side marker lights.

id get silverstar turns and Nokya Stage II Arctic White headlights/highbeams. not many people know about them. they are cheap and have the whitest output of any halogens ive owned.

hey whats up guys well im sure you know when it comes to lighting on ga's it always seems to be a problem.. the reason for this is the black reflector and the mold that the housing was created in .i remember at first i put some cheap blue bulbs in and it sucked them i stepped it up with xenons and it got better (visibility) then one burned out and i switched out to the stocks and then back and forth . and then i was like #### it i bought an h.i.d. kit and it started acting up becuase of the daytime lights so i wanted to keep og as possible so i got real hids off a cadillac cts with projectors and problem solved but i do recommend knowing somebody with bodyman skills cuz it will come in to play ......
