I hear the Philips Xtreme Power bulbs have the highest lumens output you can get from a standard halogen bulb, not sure what the life is on them is though. I plan on switching to them when my Silvania Ultra Vision Plus bulbs burn out because I don't want to go HID because I've had bad luck with after market projector headlights... unless i can save for some retrofits lol.

no hid, i dont have projectors and im not gonna be the jackass blinding everyone with HIDs in stock housings.

i had piaa bulbs in my last 2 cars, they worked great and outlasted both cars (same set), my only gripe was the price. i thought id try the silverstars and they just suck for life.

havent seen the phillips bulbs around, ill have to look into them
