headlight bulbs

What are you guys finding to be the best bulbs? I've got the sylvania blue stars or whatever the hell they're called and the output sucks. I put em in a couple years ago but never did alot of night driving.Well now I am and am dissapointed in them.Thanks

I've got one good lense and one that's cloudy.I'm just not impressed with them. I got my wife a new Honda cr-v this year and I love driving that thing at night. The best headlights I've ever seen. I know my trucks lights will never be that good but I think they could be improved.

I did the headlight relay harness and boy what a difference!!!! I have the regular bulbs and I get "flashed" at night thinking I still have my high beams on. And when I flash them back I light up the night. The harness was only around 50.00, and simple to install. Here is the website if anyone is interested: FD$Acc.

Honestly the best lights are HID's..... but you need a converstion kit that will run you $200. But you get what you pay for, and man do they put out from what i've seen. I've only seen one of our trucks with them so i dont know how long they last. Currently i have Sylvannia SilverStar Ultra's and i had them for 2 years and they are really bright. I am constantly getting flashed for high beams..... stupid little rice burners
