Default Good replacement light bulbs for a 6th Gen?

Hey, I've got a 6th gen Accord and would like it to put out a little more light. I'm not too interested in any major modifications, just want a bulb with a little more kick that I won't get pulled over for by blinding an oncomming cop. I had a nice pair of foglights on my 4th gen but they really only gave me more peripheral vision (which I guess is their function anyway). Any suggestions?

you can just get some slightly higher wattage like 55w replacement ones as any more could risk melting the plugs

if you feel like shelling out 40 bucks every 6-12 months get a set of silverstars... in terms of whiteness and light output, its the closest you'll get to h.i.d., or if you want a good set that will last long, get some xtravisions.

No. Do a 9005 conversion. It's marginally more expensive and actually provides you with more light on the road.

Here's a link: 9005 Conversion

OEM or HID Projector conversion. 9005 conversion WILL deform the glass of most bulbs if you use them for an extended period of time. Silverstars are nice but blow frequently. Most bulbs give the illusion of higher output, but are actually just a different output color.
