Default Aftermarket headlight / fog light bulbs

So I just ordered some new headlight and fog light lenses or houseings or whatever there called anyway I wanna put some new better bulbs in them. Now I realize HID is the best HOWEVER I do not wanna mess with rewireing anything or relays or blown fuses and I deffinatly don't want bulbs that ill have to worry about melting my new lenses. I just want the best "plug and play" headlight and fog light bulbs I can get. Here are the headlights and fog lights I have if that helps.

I would suggest a kit from TRS, they have great customer service and great products.

They are good bulbs just have short lifespans since they burn hotter.

Yeah generally I'm seeing 7 months to a little over a year for the ultras but haven't seen much about the Philips.

I've had pretty good luck with my silver stars, still going strong at a year old, knock on wood!

I have HID's in mine, but I have used PIAA bulbs in the past and have never had one fail. The guy that sells them local to me offers lifetime warranty on them bc he knows they last forever.
