For the past three years I have used the Sylvania Silver Stars (high beam bulbs) model number 9005 for both the low and high beams. To fit the low beam receptor you have to grind out the two ridges ( inside top of plastic connector between the two metal pins). The high beam bulb version does not have the black cap on end of the bulb which diffuses the light, but also reduces the brightness. Fortunately, the design of the glass headlight diffuses the light appropriately.

IMO the Silver Stars provide an excellent combination of brighter white light with subtle blue tint while staying reasonably close to the original maximum wattage specifications. They maintain the original light and wiring configuration of the Celica and reasonably priced for the lighting upgrade they provide with just a few minutes effort to modify and install. I have had them installed for three years and have not yet had to replace a bulb. There is also a step up with a Silver Star Ultra style bulb but I have not tried them because the Silver Stars I purchased originally have been excellent.

Let us know what you decide!
