One of my headlights blew out .. so just trying to figure out what options are out there since the entire assembly has to be replaced.

I was thinking about the blue xenon sylvania ones but idk if i want to drop 40 bucks on em.

Can any of you offer some insight (i couldnt find a thread showing pics or making comparisons)

You can buy a replacement headlight assembly to replace the seal beam so you can use h4 bulbs, get them on ebay or some other sites, have to google it

If you have the money, you might want to look at the HID kit sold by Icemark at www.mazdamark.com

I scored a pair of sylvania long life halogens off ebay for like 5 bucks shipped when I blew one of mine. They work well as long as you aim them correctly. I might get some silverstars later, and the HID kit for the T2.

Its a sealed bulb unit, comes with the bulb in the housing, no assembly required.

The Sylvania Silverstars aren't too expensive and are plenty bright.
