    Gents... I need a little guidance please.

    I was driving the F355 home from dinner last week when it became brutally obvious that i need to upgrade my headlights.
    Anything but a really well lit road or highway and I'm forced to use the brights. Its brutal.
    (It was never really an issue as i normally don't drive at night)

    I tried looking through the Sticky threads but the headlight thread doesnt load and searching the threads gives scattered/vague results.

    Is there a direct replacement bulb that I can use to just swap out the OEM?
    If so, which?

    If not, is there an HID Kit or similar that fits the F355?

    Thanks for the help guys

    Don't use an HID kit as those housings weren't designed for HIDs and you'll do nothing but splatter unfocused light blinding everybody.

    Fast Plane Eddy did it to the GTS I bought from him. They are spectacular and I thought he did a write-up on it? You could PM him for guidance. Absolutely love them.

    Which would you recommend from that site Dave?

    The 9006 Xtreme LED Kit for the Headlights and the 9006 Xtreme LED Kit for the Fog Lights?

    Those are the kits I ordered.
    Will post up some pix once I get them installed this weekend.

    Thanks for the help guys

    The owner of that site (company) was looking for a 355 spider (still is I believe) and contacted me for help. We got to know each other a bit and he had a solution but I don't recall what it was. His name is Asaf (super nice guy) Give him a call.

    Thanx guys for bringing this to light again. I've been thinking about upgrading, and the idea of a simple DIY fix is almost unbelievable. Has anyone had any heat issues?
