Default Replacing wipers - 6th gen.

Ok i know i can just walk into a autoparts store and pick up a 24" and a 19" wiper blade to replace on my 6th gen, like Anco, Bosch, Trico, etc. I got a 6th gen sedan (LX-4 cyl) and want to know what you guys would recommend? What are the best wipers out there on the market? I want something that is all-season. I'm not looking for refills, but rather the whole wiper blade.

I picked up a pair of winter blades from the local Honda dealership. The blades have a rubber cover, which prevents ice from forming around the rubber blade. They ran about $18.

I used to have Honda winter blades, and I thought they sucked. They used to chatter at high highway speeds from their air resistance and they were so-so in the rain.

I just have OEM wiper blades on right now, but does anyone have experience with good aftermarket ones? I am also interested in this.

IMHO - I've installed aftermarket blades on all of my cars and I swear by Bosch MicroEdge Excel. They're the best blades on the market.

BTW, your Accord looks great. Those appear to be Honda OEM foglights. If that's true, how did you get them to come on without the headlights coming on?

i got the bosch ones, but didn't put them on until after the rain stopped. i've used them a couple of times before going home from work to clear the dew from my windows, and they seemed a lot smoother than my old ones. but then again they were 5 yrs old. i saw a post before that recommended the bosch micro edge or whatever it is, so i went for it since they're cheaper than PIAA.

Thanks!
The PIAA's are way to expensive to buy... the guys at the autostore were saying either get the Trico's or the Bosch. They're about the same price, so i think I might just go with the Bosch or something before it really gets cold out here and starts snowing.

Those are not OEM foglights. they're aftermarket $70 lights.
