Source for New headlights

I recently put in the upgraded headlight harness and I need some brighter bulbs, I want something like 55/100 or 60/100 or in that range. Anybody know where I can get some new bulbs? I checked out PIAA but they are soooo expensive! Thanks guys!

Silverstars are pretty good for a legal light. Buy those before you try any that say equal to a higher voltage as those usually aren't nearly as good.

I found a pretty sweet deal on ebay, a pair of hella 55/100w shipped for 21.50. or 80/100w for 25.50, i'll probably go with the 55's for the other drivers sakes.

I prefer PIAA bulbs, like the Xtreme whites. I try to run Xtreme white in all my lights, great color and super bright. linky

The color is so much better than Hella bulbs, and the high K rating allows a brighter light with less draw...

I've been using Hella's HIP's 80/100w for 9 months now with no problems.

Brighter and whiter than stock . Aimed properly ,does not seem to affect on coming traffic.

Don't remember how much or where I got them from.

HIP is high intensity plus , just found out Hella discontinued them in H4
Wagner makes a H4 in the same wattage but don't know how they look.
Here's a link. HIP is explained at the bottom.
