That doesn't say what you need for an 03 though, just 02.

I apologise, you should have said you have an '03.

Same H4 and side ligths W5W

Any upgrade on standard bulbs will give you better light but depending if you want a blue effect or a halogen effect, makes all the difference   s:D :D s:D

Do *not* get anthing that has a blue tint or filter as you'll end up seeing less, even if it's a higher wattage bulb. Xenon bulbs will naturally have a very slight blue tint to them due to their colour temp, but that's entirely different. I use them, though strictly anything that produces it's bulk emission down that end of the spectrum isn't going to be so good as a 'brilliant' or 'all weather' white bulb.

Thats what i ment was that the Halogen or Xenon bulbs will give a blue type colour output, like what you see on high spec audis or BMW's   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

AFAIK the dipped beam on the '03 is a toyota special, so currently there are no alternatives available  s:( :( s:(
