Default Replacing Head lights and fog light bulbs

I was thinking of getting some new bulbs for the headlights and fog lights. I was wondering what you guys have and what is the best. I have herd lots of people say they use Sylvania Silver Stars and that they are good. I want something that is brighter that the OEM bulbs, which are in it now, and something that will last as long or longer than the OEM bulbs. I am kinda Leary about buying Sylvania bulbs cause i bought some for the headlights on my Camry and one of them burned out in 6 months to a year . When I drive the Ram I always drive with the headlights and fog lights on.

Thanks
Justin

the silverstar ultra bulbs look really good and the reason yours went out in 6months is because moisture must have gotten on the bulb/housing. I had that problem...BUT they dont make a 9008 bulb in the ultra, so you'll have to get the regular silverstars for the headlights and ultras for the fog lights....

hey Mahoney, was I talking to you about you moving to Texas?
If that's the csse then yeah silverstars are the way to go, or Hellas, just need a wiring harness.
I'll check in the silverstars I have though both head and fogs were ultra, kept the packaging as I kept the oem bulbs in them in CSS one goes out on a trip.
Anyways the reason for the Texas comment is a lot of roads won't have lights and you've gotta watch out for deer so they're really good. I hate driving my buddys 02, those lights literally are half as bright. Its almost as if I was driving with just my fogs.
