Default Headlight Bulb Question

Hey guys its been a while since i posted on this sight but I've just got a quick question...I was debating on changing the stock headlight bulb to a Halogen, now my only problem with this is first off where to buy them, what part number, what price, but the major problem is I dont want to put in a blub that will burn my harness...any suggestions would be great thanks...

try putting a 9005 bulb in the low beam side, i did this over a year ago and
my car lights up the road alot better then it did with the stock 9006 low beam bulb.
here is a site that tells you how to mod the 9005 light to fit in the low beam side.
high beam light in the low beam side, 10 more watts of power and 70% more lumens.
$ cheap too $.

hope this helps you see at night, i know i do now.
i know i would never go back to the stock (9006) lights.
