Crystal, Diamond etc actually give off less light output then factory. The only reason you would get them is if you think the blue bulb thing is cool.

Your spot on, I think the blue bulb thing is cool.

Just so no one gets confused with low/high for the driving lights, heres whats needed.

Main headlight driving light is the H4 globe
It uses the LOW part as the driving, and High for High Beam
Commodores also have another added highbeam as the H1 globe, the one nearest to the grill.

Info in your service log manuals, service manuals and tech cds.
