I'm trying to find out what others are using for wiper blades. I'd like to get the closest to stock. I have normal ones on there now and I miss the sleekness of the stock ones. I'm not using the car in the winter so I don't need tough winter blades.
Another upgrade I'd like to do are the headlights. I don't have enough money for HIDs and really don't feel like doing all the mods for them. I'd just like the bright white or maybe a slight blue shade for the headlights and fogs. Just need some suggestions

Motorcraft Blades, if you like stock, stay stock.
Sylvania Slverstars.

Reflex Wiper Blades with WetTec, they work much better than the stock ones.

I found the OEM-style blades chattered a lot and that really annoys me so I changed to regular old-style blades years ago; I'd rather have blades that work well and are smooth and quiet than have the sleek looks, therefor I can't help you with a wiper recommendation.
For the headlights, Sylvania SuperStar Ultras are da bomb...

Pat Goss of televisions MotorWeek program recommends the teflon type. I put some on my 83' AMC Concord, a garaged vehicle that only has one thousand miles a year put on it, five years ago and they are still in wonderful condition.

I go through wiper blades pretty quickly, the current brand which I have had on for 5-6 months now and still works as good as day one are the Trico NeoForm beam blades.

They cost a little more but to me they have been worth it.

Diabolical....These look good. Where do you buy them? I have the stock blades right now and they rub on the windshield...very annoying.

Marauder281,
I just bought 2 pairs of new ones from my dealer who gives me a healthy discount for $48. These are the arms with blades identical to the OEMs on our cars. The part nbr may have changed, but they still make them for our cars at F/L/M.
