Hey y'all, just wondering what your guys recommendations are for the brightest plug and play lights, or atleast very easy mod for the brightest lights I can easily install

I have bad night eyes, and when it's raining at night, and I'm caught in it, It can get a bit nerve racking
I've usually upgraded to the silver star ultras but they don't seem worth the $120 I pay for high/lows. Now since this is my first vehicle with fogs if like to buy some to match because I'm all about uniformity.

Unfortunately, the silverstars are probably the best option for visibility in the rain. Some may recommend a low kelvin HID option, which would work well but you need to retrofit projectors which is either very expensive or a somewhat hands-on project if you DIY.

DO NOT put HIDs in the factory housings, the glare is horrible in the rain.

I have 8000k hid's in my new stock heads on my 99 f150 and I don't have a glare. They just don't seem to light up anything without a reflector attached

To the OP: technically a retrofit is PnP, just a few more plugs I love my retrofits by tuxedoblack11 but haven't had them in any type of weather since this drought doesn't seem to want to quit.
