I know this has been asked time and time again, and I did a search, but couldn't find what I was looking for. What type of light bulbs should I get if I wanted them to be brighter/whiter than stock, and not any visiblity in rain, snow, etc...

If you want to stay with stock wattage then get the Narva RangePower like Micah95GLE said. I've had these and they do provide solidly better output and whiter beam than your stock. Last time I check Courtesy doesn't sell them anymore but I got mine at http://www.puma-access.com/specials.html for only 13.95 per bulb. And no these bulbs are not coated blue so u're not loosing any output to achieve whiter beam.

Has the same effect as coating a bulb blue, except it won't fade... perhaps the blue glass is a lighter tint than others.

but not the NARVA 9004 because when i bought mine from them the glass was clear just like stock, no hint of blue at all.

Yes that is the quote from puma-access.com but it may be refering to other bulb type or the Superblue Jahn

I honestly can't remember what the bulb looked like. Maybe if I get bored I'll pull one out and look. But when me and some other Atlanta people installed them, we did a side-by-side comparison to PIAAs and the PIAAs had blue streaks in the beam, while the Narvas were pure white.
