brightest replacment headlight bulb?

i been looking around for some new headlight bulbs, what are the brightest bulbs out there. i dont want HID's or anything, just something to replace the bulbs i have now. i dont want a blue light either, just a pure white light. i travel alot country roads and there are alot of deer aroud. i know there are the silver stars, but are they really that brighter than stock?

yes, silverstars are definitely the brightest stock replacement bulbs. but they burn out quicker than normal bulbs as well.

im not really that impressed with how long these lights last, so i looked up led lights since they should last longer but i come to find that regular ones that plug right in are not really bright enough at all. i guess the brighter they are the shorter life they will have.

Maybe look into HIR bulbs. On another forum I am on, people say they're very bright, and are quite satisfied with them.

There are no 9007 hir bulbs in existence, nor are their any that are high/low bulbs. They will not work in this application, or I would have already mentioned them

huh? No one mentioned LEDs in here yet, and there are NO led replacement bulbs out there even close to as bright as a stock 9007 bulbs for this application.

Op my suggestion is to pick up a catz zeta system, which is sort of like a ballast and harness system to boost halogen bulbs. Good alternative to hids.

I bought a pair of Silverstar Zxe from autozone. I was planning on buying the Silverstar Ultra's, but the guy told me the Zxe bulbs have a year warranty, Ultra's only 90 days.j Zxe bulbs are not really blue, but very very bright white.
