      The regular old sylvanias work fine


      Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far the wall moves after you hit it.

      9003 = H4
      not really sure why there are 2 different numbers the bulb is the same.

      I haven't seen too many options as replacements for the 881 bulb in the fogs... any recomendations!

      I had got some HID's from hidworld.com and they worked great. It was for my 01 F150. I never tried there hi/low. The quality was great and the light output was awesome. The only thing that I didnot like was the slow shipping. But for 320(US) shipped, I guess you cannot complain. I have been searching for prices and quality and it seems that xtralights.com has a good rep but the prices are steep. Just a taught.

      Yes The Aveo can take 9003 and H4 bulbs.
      They are rated at the same power, so you're not getting an upgrade buy switching to H4's.

      That particular product is Bi-Xenon. Bi-Xenon has a Solenoid that moves a cut-off sheid, to activate the Hi and Low Beams. He is calling this an advantage because if you have one Low beam and one Hi Beam (Two separate Bulbs), And you need the Hi Beams the Hi Beam Bulb will need to warm up. If you have Bi-xenon it just flips the cut-off shield down to produce a Hi beam...and no wait.

      HID is WAY Different from a Regular filament bulb. HID bulbs need to warm up, When they turn on they produce 27,000 (not a typo) volts to speed up the warm up process. They also do not have a filament, it is an arc.

      Any Questions?
