I have heard great things about the silverstars. They are made by silvania.

I don't know about you but I sure wouldn't like to get blinded by some damn car on the other side of the road.

Be careful as some are advertised as being bright but they are actually have more watts like those blue bulbs HID look. Most headlight housings have a 55 watt max limit. Check the watts 1st.

also if you get a bulb with a watt that is too high for your harness you will melt it then you get to pay for a new harness. just get the piaa's or silver stars they are great bulbs.

Silverstars is the way to go! You can also get some off ebay..but their crap! ...I have silverstars and they look nice! Not the brightest but certainly worth the $40 bucks!
I once bought some from ebay and they melted my wire harness!

If you have the old headilghts that are not diamond cut pre 1998 then that is part of the problem. Go with the Cobra version and get diamond cut foglights as the stock ones are crap. The bigger the fog light the better you will see. On my Hemi the fog lights are round and big and you can see perfect. On my 98 GT I can see better than the factory but not as good as the Hemi since the Gt has small oval fog lights. On my wifes old Maxima I put on a set of Hellas and it was better than the headlights but they were rectangular and big.
