Default Head Light Bulb Replacement Options

Guys, what is the best brightest aftermarket halogen bulb without going into the HID stuff?? And on my new 2007, the bulb is a H13 am I correct. Is Canadian Tire Sylvanias or nighthawks any better and if so which Sylvania do I buy as there are about four models or lines available, nighthawk, silverstar, etc??

I had a set of Luminics Krypton Ultra Whites on my last car, they were crazy bright. I might get some for my truck if I don't go HID.

i have silverstars in my headlamps and foglamps. its so much better than stock. they did come out with "silverstar ultras" though, might give them a shot, supposed to be the brightest.

on any fyi, i know your looking for a bulb for your truck, but try to keep this thread moving in a way in which promotes dodge. who cares about sylvania or other brands. go get some dodge bulbs. remember, keep it dodge related

lets not get off track. now, anyone know where this guy can get some bulbs produced by dodge

(lol im not a jack***, its an insider from most ppl on this thread) sorry for the explanition for all you guys that already knew that. back on the topic....dodge related

hahaha

why would you want to spend all that time and effort retrofitting benz HIDs into the dak!? I'd say if you're looking for the best overall light performance, you'll want to get those projector fixtures, and then splice a HID kit into the projector lens. It's more legal than putting them into the halogen fixtures. But just stick with Silverstars Ultra if you want to stick to non-HID bulbs. The stock sylvanias are ok, but don't go with colored bulbs either, they fade over time and are illegal.

i took my factory headlights and aimed them up just a tiny bit. enough to give me extra distance in light but not enough to where you are blinding oncoming traffic. works great
