Most of those are ricer bulbs, Xtravisions and stock give the best output, they may not look cool, but they are the safest, especially in bad weather.

i just searched for 9007 bulbs and put the most frequent 9 down. i figured if i only put the 3 i hear everyone uses some would complain about being left out and not making an objective poll

PIAA makes the best bulbs hands down. I have had mine for about 4 years now, and they are the brightest around.

I've had my Sylvania's for over a year, no problems at all. Much brighter than stock.

for me, the xtravisions. ive had them in my max w/ the 9007 conversion. best cheapest mod u can possibly do that gives u most bang for the buck.

if anybody wants to go true hid route w/ projectors, thats the only thing better IMO.

Are you sure you can see well with Eurodezigns? They have a dark tint to it, which means they shouldn't give a good output.

I havent really had a problem with them so far, I recently did the 9007 conversion and the output is slightly better but arent as bright white as they were stock if that makes any sense, but the high beams are crazy bright now....I havent used the xtravisions so I cant really compare the outputs, I just hate the yellow look and love the look these give my max, havent had any vision problems yet...im kinda unsatisfied with the conversion to 9007 because their not as bright as before, its like it only made my high beams brighter....Im still gonna stick with these 4 now...HIDs in the future...

clearly an option for HIDs would eclipse the 9007s in a ranking of best performance for the fact that they are entirely different technologies. its like saying "which is the best tasting type of apple", even though everyone knows oranges taste much better than any available apple. i know HIDs are arguably the best, but like i said im about to do the 9007 conversion, not HID projector retrofit

I like the Nokya Arctic White Stage II's they were pretty bright due to them being a higher wattage.
