More light output from headlights?

I searched the archives and didn't find anything.

The stock headlights on the '00 F350 are not very bright as compared to my other vehicle. I don't want to go to auxillary lights - I'd just like a little more from the stock ones.

Has anyone used higher wattage bulbs (with relays of course)?

How about the new Sylvania Silverstar or high output halogen bulbs - anyone using those that likes them? Or doesn't like them?

thanks,
mike

Thanks - guess I should have searched the older archives also :-)

Just what I was looking for.

Maybe if I have a spare $400 after I get the gauges, larger exhaust and tuner, I'll spring for some Euro lights. My Audi has those and they are incredible. My wife, who doesn't notice much about automotive things, even commented the first time she saw the high beams in action.

In the interim, I'll just look for a little better bulb and it sounds like the SilverStar is not going to be it.

Dusten which just so happens to be my name also
The sylvania's are brighter, but not sure the price tag is justifiable(sp?).
