Headlight bulbs? Hmm... I bought a set of Halo from a tuning store in the Puente Hills Mall, lights up the road pretty damned good with 7200K, still looks white with DRLs on instead of the traditional yellow (yeah I know I could disable it, but it's an insurance discount thing), with a 2 year warranty. Only downside: It's Halogen instead of true HID, but these come pretty damned close.

Rear signal bulbs = Same shop, APC reds (instead of OEM orange). Makes the car stand out a bit, still functional and legal.

License plate Bulbs = Some LED with a Japanese name from Pep Boys; was pursuing the GS look but it isn't as bright and it's too blue (the GS is more greenish).

Front corners = Again, Pep Boys, but just because it burnt out, but I got the clear ones instead of orange just to eliminate the reflection. I had whites at one point, but it was a pain in the arse to see in daylight when I was trying to arm the car (and the Gen1's OEM alarm doesn't chirp either).

Other bulbs = Also Pep Boys, but OEM color. Big whoop though.

Future reference = Be more specific of which bulbs! You better be glad I'm bored out of my mind to be typin' all this :D!

How do you do that, I don't understand what you're talking about.

It's not easy... try some searching on retrofitting headlights if you're really that inclined. I doubt anyone is going to type out in detail what process you'd have to take.
