Philips Vision Plus are supposed to be the best you can get in the H13 bulb.

Thats what I went with as a direct replacement bulb. Works GREAT!!

I also went with the Silverstars, Sylvania makes a Silverstar Ultra which is even brighter but at this time they do not make them in the H13 which is what our trucks take. But when I e-mailed them to ask if they make them they told me no, but they are thinking about it and every time they get e-mails asking about them they send them to there research guys letting them know that people want them. So if you want to support the cause e-mail them. The Silverstars ran me $49.99 and my dad has the Ultras for his Chevy and they are only $49.99 also.

HID is a new setup. It replaces your existing bulbs but is a new bulb altogether with a converter box. The "true" HID bulbs that is. Some say they are "HID" or "HID Look alikes" and they are a lot cheaper only burning at 6000K

Below is a ebay link on some conversion bulbs.

Notice the pictures about midway of the page.

I do not have these but would like feedback on if anyone has these and what they think about them. As I am interested in these bulbs myself

Is it the higher the number the brighter?

do they have HID fog light kits?
