Default Need some bulbs

After all the searching, I've come to the conclusion that you all confuse the hell outta me.:sleepy: So some bulbs break and only last a month, some aren't any better than stock, some intensity ratings aren't any better than another, etc.

Is there any way that we can agree on something besides the HID conversion? I need at least a low beam bulb that's better than stock but inexpensive. And I don't really want it blue.
I know you guys can agree on something.:

Depends on which PIAA you get, but I'm sure they have some version of Xtravision...

I've probably used 10 different brands of bulbs. So far the best I've used is Sylvania Silverstar. They're available everywhere, have lasted longer than any other brand, give better light than stock, look good, and they sell them individually. There's nothing worse than popping a bulb that's only sold in pairs.

Regardless, remember to put some dialectric grease on the bulb harness while changing them. This improved my bulb life dramatically and stopped bulbs from melting my damn harnesses.

I'll look around for those Silverstars. Hopefully with those, I can return them if they break early. Do you know how much they cost?

You can buy them just about anywhere...Autozone, Pepboys, Advance Auto, etc. I believe I paid like $16 each bulb.
