saab ing in KS?! i'm saab-ing in ks as well. is wal-mart the cheapest retail store around, or can these be bought elsewhere? i've had various brands on my last 3 cars (hondas), and i wasn't really under any illusion that they were "brighter", i just think they look cool. they have a cleaner, more "direct" look that i like. i had some that i guess were painted, they put out good light, and they were trippy. besides buying some "high-test" lamps, are there any other mods that can be done to saab-headlighting? i had a "blackout" mod on the last honda, and i'm wondering if i could do that and/or remove the yellow from inside my 01 9-3 se conv. i've had it 3 days, and haven't had time to toy with it.
