Best headlight and fog bulbs?

I have stock lightbulbs on my 02 true blue L. Im looking for what you guys think is the best recommended brand and color of lightbulb. Im trying to get something that either might be a little blue (to match my truck) or just straight out bright white. My friends recommend silvanian but I want to know if you guys know of something better.

no. silvania silver stars are the best. they are a bright white and 100x better than stock. but nothing out there compares to HIDs

I use the Sylvannia Silver Stars in one of the vehicles and while its a great bulb be prepared to replace them once a year probably and when 1 blows buy 2 because the second one is not far behind and at $17 to $20 a bulb the reasoning for using stock bulbs becomes clearer and clearer.........

Thats not true. I've been running the same set of SilverStar bulbs in my headlights for about 4 years now. My fog lights have gone through 3 sets of bulbs, the first 2 sets went out because of my old fog lights lenses, they had cracked and began to hold water causing the bulbs to blow but that was fixed about 2 years ago and i've been running the same set of 9005 bulbs since in then.

BTW, Sylvania Silverstar Ultras IMO are the brightest white bulb you can find.

THanks guys sorry i could not reply its been a hell of a weekend. Anyways so i should go with the silvania ultra light white? I would not mind paying the extra price so they can last longer. What about a bulb with a hint of blue. My truck is true blue so i kind of want to match it!
