Default Head/Fog light bulbs

Besides HID's what kind of bulbs you got? I'm looking to replace mine from stock with something brighter and maybe a slight blue tone or bright white. Let me know what kind of bulbs you have and if you can get some pics that would be cool too.

I'm using Sylvania Silverstars. I don't have any pics yet since I just got them recently but they are much brighter than the stock ones that came in my truck. You'll spend around $80-$100 for a set of fogs and head lights

Be aware that brighter halogens won't last as long as a regular set would.

I put 9005 headlight bulbs in my fogs... They throw better light then my headlights and my original fog bulbs... I got the cheap pep boys import bulbs in there now, and the light output is an exact color match to my hella headlight bulbs.. I did have an issue with the 9005's overheating my fog light harness, so I cut off the OEM bulb harnesses and put in some heavy duty, high heat versions.. It's been solid ever since... The pep boys bulbs have crap O Rings, but a little dielectric grease helped them seal well.

What would you say the color is on the ultras? Is it more of a bright white, if so that's what I'm looking for.
