I want really really bright-white headlights for my car.. does anyone know what brand has the BRIGHTEST ones? it's either that or the bule tint one.. not the ones that looks blue on the bulb but shines like stock, but actually shines BLUEish light (not too blue but enough so that an average person who's not into cars can tell the difference)

Consider this...

http://www.overboost.com/story.asp?id=102

That article is why I don't change out the factory bulbs.

Go with the APC Xenon Plasma SuperWhites. Great bulb for our cars, but the wattage is higher than stock. I run em without a harness and have had no problems, but "I" choose to take that chance. Light output is great! But Sucks in the rain (Even Genuine HID lamps have this problem). hope the info helps.

P.S- if your looking for a bulb with a slight bluish tent to it, Slyvania's are NOT your bulb. The glass is tented but the light out put is the same color as stock. Just brighter.

Check out Sylvania ExtraVision. http://www.sylvania.com/lighting/auto/xtra.htm I have them in my max. Wow what an improvement over stock. They are not overwatts so no worries about melting anything

How does your UF sticker give you 5HP?
Will it be worth to keep the 5HP or to just take out the sticker in shame when UM kicks the chicke.., I mean Gators butts in the Sugar Bowl.

Ha, I remember when I used to be able to defend my school when it came to football... now it's just "we'll be better in a few years". The Miami vs. FSU game was a work of art though... that was great.

I mean install, and use overwattage bulbs WITHOUT upgrading the stock wiring harness. Chek the posts, there are a lot of different opinions on the matter
