Quick Headlight Picture
Hey guys, just stuck inside for the weekend here. Getting hammered with snow and ice in PA. People have no idea how to drive in this kind of weather, i figure i would stay inside all weekend and do some truck research.
Heres one for ya.
- I dont want to go HID, but i wanted to know what the brightest bulb was that will fit our oem bulb socket. my headlights are smoked and the bulbs in them dont work like i would like them to at night. -
Thanks in advance guys.

Another vote for the Silverstars. I don't have the ultras, but even the regular ones are a huge upgrade over stock lights.

Clear lenses ($100ish used), relay harness ($75) plus HELLA 80/100 watt bulbs ($20/pair - 1000hr bulbs. www.rallylights.com
Best light you can get IMHO. In years of running them, no one has ever thought i had my brites on when i didnt. Unlike (most - incl. Retro....) HIDs, the optics are retained and focus as well as cutoff lines are intact.
Wish i hadnt done '05 lenses in F350, but with Electrosport dual-beam HIDs, they are ok.
Sylverstars are prolly best bulb at autoparts, but they are waaaaaay overpriced and dont last very long...

I've had same pair of these for 3yrs in the Excursion: (they were out of HELLA's when I ordered them)

These are the ones I bought for F350 - they had been in truck for prolly 80k miles, LOTS of nite driving. When I put '05 lenses in F350, I kept these for when the Optilux bulbs in the X fail.

I don't care if I had to buy a pair every year - the stock junk on both my trucks was DANGEROUS! Lemme check around with the 8-10 people I've recommended this set-up to and see what they're getting for service-life. I know my friend John recently got the xenon's and said they are amazing!
