Best headlight bulbs?

I know I ask a ton of questions, but you guys are the best resource anyone could ever find!! I was wondering what headlight bulbs do you guys like best. I want something that is bright not just some crappy colored bulb. What's a good brand to purchase? I got the car today and got a light out. Might as well do it right from the start~ Thanks for any suggestions

From what I understand, the silverstars are the best bang for the buck. Wal-mart actually carries these bulbs in pairs for approximately $35 here in STL.

i say stock is the best but if you really wanna change the color and brightness or whatever i'd suggest going HID. no use buying those crappy ass bulbs at kragen or your local rice shop because those only last you for like 3 months

Silverstars suck. I have them and they blew out after a year. I keep buying them cuz they're convenient. I'm thinking about HID's.

HID's are great if you have the money, otherwise Piaa bulbs are pretty nice.

I have the silverstars set as my high beams and they work great. They have been in for over a year and no problems. I had them in for the lows but I didn't like them like that so now I have oem lows and silverstar highs

Phillips over a year and then blew 1 so I used a Silverstar cause my local shop had them. 2 mos and then blew one. Now I have 1 phillips and 1 silverstar. I'd recommend Phillips any day.

PIAA Extreme Whites in my headlights and foggies. No complaints. Been using PIAA lamps/bulbs for over 5 years now. I like their products.

What Piaa bulb has a sligher more blue to it besides the xtreme whites?

I have the JDM xtreme whites for my fogs and the usdm whites for the headlights, the usdm one doesn't have any tint of blue in it
