best bet are osram hypers. BRIGHT as hell

be careful.

most of those aftermarket "hyper white" or "hid blue" bulbs are complete BS. do some reading.

When it comes to aftermarket bulbs, be warned, not worth the money. A majority of aftermarket bulbs actually put out LESS light than the stock bulbs. The only ones I have heard of that are actually somewhat brighter than stock are the 65w Narva or Osram bulbs. Check out this page for more info.

if staying halogen check xenonlightshid.com i had them and they were brighter than stock. don't know how they compared to sylvania. if interested in HID, check xenonexpert.com for apexcone system. i have had mine since november without any problems. i love thema nd they make a HUGE difference at night.
