Headlight bulb help!

Ok, so I was driving to work this morning and realized that my passenger side headlight buld is out. I has silverstars since i bought the truck but I was wondering if their was a brighter better bulb out there...I have always used the silverstars so if anyone with experience with different brands could help me out that would be great.

you could go with a HID setup, those make silverstars look like the lights werent even on, but for the price, silverstars are the only ones that I have seen that are as bright.

I just put Silverstar Ultras in mine a few weeks ago - I'm happy.

HIDs are brighter, but the fact that bi-xenons dont really give you much of a high-beam. So HIDs are really a more look than functionality mod. Otherwise, stick with the Silverstars. There are brighter bulbs out there, but they are less reliable and might melt your harness.

keep it under the speed limit. I clipped a deer with my truck years back doing 55. hit the front right side, went over the cab, into the bed and it jumped out and ran off. put a crack in my grille surround and broke the corner light but nothing else
