My question is what is the brighest bulb that I can put in my truck that take's the 9004 bulbs? But won't melt it.

Would this be ok?
PIAA Xtreme White Plus Bulbs
Xtreme White Plus bulbs are whiter, brighter, and closer to the color of sunlight. X-Treme White Plus Bulbs - 9004 | 9005 | 9006 | 9007

Twin Pack Part Number: 19604
Single Bulb Part Number: 19004
Bulb Type 9004 (HB1)
Wattage 45/65w = 85/110w, 3800K

 

You'd probably be better off doing the TECH ARTICLE Whiter Whites, Brighter Brights. Basically re-wires the headlamps to take power from the battery thru a relay. The headlamp switch actually powers the relays. You will get full battery voltage rather than 3-5 volts lower than battery voltage.

It'll cost about $20.-25.00 for 2 relays, and 50ft roll of 12GA wire, and connectors. And the headlamp switch will run cooler as a result of lower amp draw across it's contacts.

If afterwards you absolutely need "get out in front of me and you'll fry like a redhead on the beach" lights go ahead. But I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

 

You can't go wrong with the PIAA's. I have a '92 F150 and I have been using the PIAA Xtreme White Plus bulbs for for about 14 months. Nothing but satisfied. I have type 9007 (HB5). Wattage used is 65/55 = 120/110. No problems with melting. I also have the the PIAA Ion Crystal fog lamps (model 520) for when the weather gets really nasty. The PIAA's may cost a bit more, but I think their products are worth every penny.

The stock headlights are too bright already. If you can't see, get your eyes checked.

 

I had my eyes checked...

Because I can't see ... actually no, I just like my Truck!
