HB4 (9006) for main driving lights & HB3 (9005) for high beam. Navara seem to be value for money compare to all the other brand i've use (Philips, Mitec & PIAA)

If you want the brightest, do a HID conversion.

Well i got my 6000K HID for $320 included shipping, its a Jap made, with all the water/dust proof. & ISO9002....blah blah blah. :lol: But it was one off sample from the supplier hehehee. If you keep your eye out on different forum or ebay, you might find a deal like mine.

Few things to keep in mind as I metion before (Yes Bennoz here we go again :lol: ), you need all those water/dust proof, or u have a mighty surprise, plus if your installer is good as the one I use, then he would put extra washer & heat resistant shield as well.

Don't fall for the trap of "the higher the K the better it is". I post the chart here again, so I can stop crapping on, & people will understand what I mean Hehehehe
