Default Bulb upgrade

Id like to get better lights for my truck. Id love to have HID's but at them moment thats not an option. I dont want blue lights or anything, but i would like something whiter and brighter than the OEM lights.

Id like to do the fogs and the heads so that they match. Can you recommend a good bulb setup that will give me more light?

Thanks

Flamesuit on!!!

I put Sylvania Silverstar Ultra in my headlights and regular Silverstar bulbs in the fog lights. Made a huge difference over the stock lights.

The car I had before this truck had HID lights, so there is no comparison in that regard. Going from that to the stock F150 lights was shocking. The silverstars aren't anything like HiD, but they are far better than the stock bulbs.

Buy the oem xenon headlights. You can find them for about $600 a set with bulbs and ballasts on eBay.

You didn't understand what he meant... not 600 dollar bulbs. 600 for a whole set up.
