Re: whats a good upgrade to stock (jetta2u)
No offence, but it sounds as if all you're willing to do is swap bulbs, which won't offer you a tremendous improvement with the stock DOT housings. However, if that's what you're limited to, I'd suggest picking up a set of Philips Vision Plus bulbs.

Yea, he's right.
With your year car you may find a marked improvement in your stock lighting (with the same bulbs) just by adding a relay.
The reason is, over time your wiring breaks down. It's a gradual thing so you don't notice it - until one day you say, "hmmm, maybe I should upgrade my lights because they kinda suck" (or something like that

).
Get a buddy or family member that knows about relays to stop by. It's easier than you think.
This, coupled with a bulb upgrade will do you well.
But you may want to invest in some ecode lights. To make the most out of them, just aim them properly.
Good luck.

yeah im looking for the easy way just swapping bulbs --for now --i do a lot of wiring at work --and-helping my friend wire motorcycles at his shop
----so doing relays its not really about the actual work doing it --the problem i have is --just haven't got the time until spring
i do commercial heating --and the company i work for just lost 2 guys --my middle name is overtime until March
but in the springtime if she survives the winter i'll run relays
