What do you all recommend for headlamp bulbs? Xenon/Silver Star? Other?

Thank's in advance.

Silverstars! I have them in my car and they are the best next to a HID kit.

My silverstars lasted about a year, now I'm running the APC clones and they are a little dimmer, but still better than stockers.

Silverstars... they look great. Just make sure you have nice clean lenses for them to shine through.

i had the silverstars in my last car and they were awesome!
now i got some of those hyperwhitish ones and they are good because they dont get a really yellow color when they dim, because of my underdrives and my stocker alternator

Go to Advance Auto Parts and get the silverstars. I work there and we have em on sale right now for 29.97 marked down from 36.88 or something like that. I have them in three vehicles and am very pleased with them. I want to always ride with my brights on LOL.

The hyperwhites burn so bright and hot that the fillement can only last up to 6 months... There are limitations to the standard halogen bulbs.
