Default Lighting Questions

I know these topics have been discussed extensively, but I'm look for some up-to-date info for some lighting mods to my '05 crew cab.

I just put 9005 Sylvania xze bulbs in my fogs and now I'm looking for some similarly colored/performing H13's for my head lamps since my current SS H13's now look dull compared to the xze.

I'm also looking for the brightest 194 led bulbs for the headlamp marker bulbs.

Lastly as far as exterior, I am looking for the best 194 LED for my plate bulbs that fit. I've seen it discussed numerous times before but the new bulb numbers for the hd bulbs are all over the place.

Moving to the interior, looking for the best performing 194s for the map lights and matching festoon bulb.

Thanks for all the advice.

For the absolute best 194s available, search for my various LED upgrade pics. All of my LED lighting uses either Cree technology or 5050 SMD with an Osram chipset.

Regarding the H13/9008 bulbs, it has been proven that the main manufacturers for halogen bulbs (Piaa, Phillips, Hella, Osram, Sylvania) use very similar technology and there will be very little if any difference between their top models.
