For now, I have Philip's Extreme Vision bulbs. Pretty damn impressive for a halogen bulb, and I would suggest it.
I say "For now" as I have a set of retrofits in the making. Should have them within 1-1.5 weeks.

I know the whole problem w/o using projectors and hid bs, that's why I'm not doing hids since I don't wanna do the retrofit. I was asking stock vs the led for light output. Also thanks for the links, I've already done the cab, reverse, license, and extra lights under the dash. I'm just trying to see what everyone thinks are the best for heads and fogs. Also for anyone considering, when you do brake/signals use red led's.

Ive had my plug and play HIDS for over 3 years now, no problems thus far. They are 5k bi-xenon, but it was a not well thought-out choice I made when I was 16. They are bright, and great lights, but have always had problems keeping them adjusted. Got them from V-LEDS.com.
Recently upgraded my fogs to a kit from TheRetrofitSource.com (amazing site) and love them so far. Wish I would have done my regular lights form that site from the beginning. Waiting until i have a bad ballast/bulb in my heads now to upgrade to a better kit. Personally, I would do a full projector retrofit if you are looking to upgrade your headlights. You can make that choice and keep a budget below $350 easy if you already have lightning/aftermarket housings already. I would for sure check TRS and see what peaks your interest on there. 5000 or 6000k look best in my opinion, but that is also my opinion, so do research to see what you think your truck will look best with.
