What's a good online car parts store?
I'm looking to get some new headlights, and I want some bright whites, none of that blue tinted stuff. I just want some nice bright white headlights. I've got a 1993 Nissan pickup, and I'll probably be needing to buy a few other random parts in the near future. Is there any good online retailer that has a large selection? I've been spoiled by newegg and I wish every etailer could be just like them

for a truck, www.truckperformance.com is good. www.summitracing.com, maybe Jegs.com, they may be a good place to start

Hmm... looks a little more complicated than I thought. As I said before, my headlights are dimming and I want some bright new ones. I put in my truck model and everything into www.truckperformance.com and none came up that fit, I tried the same thing at www.summitracting.com and all I got was headlight covers, and I couldn't really make sense of www.jegs.com
Do I have to get something that is made specifically to fit my vehicle? Do I need to just get replacement bulbs, or a whole new... whole headlight thing? |

is it the whole headlight you want to replace or just a bulb? (usually it's just a bulb) if you can find out the part # of the bulb (owners manual, or local auto store should help) then you can search easier that way

To be honest I'd just make a trip down to the local auto supply store.
Pepboys,autozone... You'll pretty much have a much easier in the end. If you get the wrong part it'll be easier to return and to be honest I don't think the prices will be that far off from one another. Then again if you REALLY want to get some good savings...hit up eBay. |

It may not be the fault of your headlights. You could have a failing switch or relay, or a corroded connection. Run a heavy gauge 12V supply directly to one bulb and compare brightness. Many vehicles benefit from a harness upgrade, even versus showroom condition due to inadequate wiring. That last 1V makes a big difference in bulb brightness.
