 Searching for an inexpensive alternative to installing ballast-oriented HID lighting kits, we decided to test several sets of inexpensive LED and Xenon replacement bulbs for the Saturn Sky. After contacting five different vendors, we decided to purchase seven different pairs of white zenon and LED replacement bulbs for our test. Our goal was get closer to a cooler white/blue color without loosing illumination. In the end, after trying more than a dozen combinations of lights, the results ranged from totally useless to fairly good, although certainly nothing close to what we have see with true HID lighting.
The photo to the left shows the soft yellow hallogen stock lights that come with the SKY, and the photo to the right is of a Xenon low-beam bulb and a 6-LED driving light. We were hoping for a more modern whiter look, and I think we achieved it.
