Sylvania SilverStar.

If you want to pay a little less, and get a little more light than just regular SilverStars. Search for "OSRAM SilverStar". OSRAM and Sylvania are the same company, Sylv operates within the USA and OSRAM is their worldwide name.

USDM Sylvania SilverStar = +30% over stock bulbs
OSRAM SilverStar = +50% over stock bulb.

The OSRAM's aren't "legal" per the DOT/SAE, but they meet EEC (European) standards which I believe are more rigid.

I run TYC Projectors with 4 H1 OSRAM SilverStars. I love it. Looks SUPER white. Cops don't **** with me at all about it, and maybe once a week I get someone who "brights" me because they think I've got my brights on. I quickly show them what bright lights look like and it's over!

Yeah, like Kenton said, Silverstars or stay OEM. Unless you wanna splurge for an HID kit, which is even better and won't blow out like the silverstars will.

do you mean driving/fog lights, or light bulbs? if you mean driving light/fogs, then I'd recommend PIAA or Hella.

Thanks all. I did mean Fog lights, however the insignt regarding bulbs was excellent. I live in a very rural dark area and I encounter many animals while driving at night. I need all of the light I can get in front of me. I was leaning toward the Hella lights.
Y'all are the best!
