Headlight Bulb ???

Which headlight bulbs bulbs are the brightest?
I'm not interesting in changing to '05-newer headlights (althought it would be nice) but am looking for an 'upgrade' to brighter, I'm tired of navigating my way through the dark.

Help me out here... Which bulbs are a direct replacement?

I use the Sylvania Silverstar bulbs and like them a lot. Now they have an Ultra version.

I have the 9007 Ultra silver stars, and absolutely a day and night difference between them. I got some off ebay deliverd for about 20 bucks. Only problem is I wish I'd gotten them sooner.

Thanks guys!

Threw in some Silverstars this evening.
Night and day difference (no pun intended).

I did also switch to '04 headlights, but it's the bulbs that made the difference.

To get the Silverstar bulb add "ST" to the end of the part number.
Headlight bulb for the truck is "9007" for the standard bulb.
Silverstar is "9007 ST".
Whatever bulb your PIAA'a have, add the "ST" to the end of the part number.
For instance if they call for an "H1", just as for "H1 ST".
