    Assuming you wanted to stay with the stock fuses and wiring (to avoid overload problems and melting), but just wanted more light to see, what are the best 55W bulbs to use?

    Specifically, what street legal bulbs put out the most/best light in 55w capacity?

    I hear a lot of good things about the Sylvania Silver stars, but they're pricey compared to standard lights.

    Default Get these!

    I run xtec HID-match halogens after reading about them here about 6 months ago. For $35/pair with free lifetime replacement, and a 30 second swap out, they are GREAT!
