anywhere really- walmart, autozoo, oh-rye-lees, etc... They are 9008/h13. You should consider putting in some silverstars.

NO, the 2004 uses 9007 bulbs. There is also a harness for those, not only it increase voltage to the bulbs but also allows you keep the low beam on when you turn the high beam.

Thanks Defuser. Do I have to get a new harness or can I just replace the bulbs?

When I went to silverstars website they have like differnt type.

Silverstar Hallogen
Silverstar Xenarc
Silverstar Coolblue
Silverstar Hallogen Xtravision
Silverstar Hallogen Plus

Is there one that is better for superduties than the other?

I need better night vision

Thanks

I prefer the Sylvania Xtravision bulbs. They have pretty much the same light output as the Sylvania Silverstars, but they don't have the blue coating to make the light seem more white. The white light tends to glare more at night. They are also usually cheaper.

I do recommend dfuser's upgraded wiring harness as it definitely made a noticeable improvement as well.
