First, what headlight bulbs are best and brightest for the stock headlight setup on an 87 GXL?



Second, I have some old Bosch fog lights/driving lights (not sure what to call them) but they are fairly bright, give a wide, low beam but they are just that....OLD! (1988) They are fairly large and rectangular. i want something a little smaller and more in the 2000 era I would like to use the wiring that was placed for the Bosch lights since it is aftermarket stuff and not standard with the car and is wired exactly the way I want it. It would be easy not to have to rewire. Any ideas on make, model and type of fog lamps to replace these?

For the headlamps, you can just get hyper white replacements. The common FC part # I believe for Sylvania would be HO6054CB. It stands for cool blue, but its more of a bright white lamp. Looks good.

I got CATZ msx-81 fog lights, they will run you a buck or two but they fit in the brake duct holes on the s4 nose cone with some custom modifications. the are the rectangle ones. 80watt hyper white bulbs. and I also got the h4 head lights with 55watt PIAA hyper white head lamps. it looks sweeet.

I would be very interested in those crystals. How much are we talking? i saw some nice diamond cut crystal types on ebay but they were listed for 88-97 models. I tried e-mailing the folks to see if they would fit 87 GXL before buying but their e-mail was out of service.
