H.I.D's or L.E.D's

I always buy from theretrofitsource.com.

Unless you are getting the LEDs for your fog lights, I would not suggest them. They typically throw all of the concentrated light in the foreground and do not throw light very far in front of the vehicle. They do not make good headlights because of this.

Buy real HIR bulbs if you are looking for more light.

I tend to agree that if you are not upgrading to projectors, that HIR's are you best bet for output. I didn't mention it though because that wasn't your question. If you are looking for a blue tint to the light than HIR bulbs will not give you what you want. HID's will, but there will be lots of scattered light and it's a safety hazard to other (in my opinion). LEDs will also deliver the blue appearance, but the light will be unusable so I would skip those.

Bulb part numbers are in you owners manual...
