I use the PIAA Extreme White Plus bulbs for my highs and lows.
I use Hoen bulbs for the fog lights.

Same here, I've had the same set Hi/Lows for 3 years. They're great, really nice white light.
I've had some horriable luck with the silver stars in the fogs. They burn out all the time, and the stock fogs are pretty much use less after 6 feet. I've descreened mine, and they're still dim.

Try Luminics Ultra White lights. I just installed a set on my truck. They are brighter than my silverstars and they have a whiter light with a hint of blue in them. $24.95 a pair @ www.luminicsbulbs.com

I think that I paid 120 something shipped from 4 wheel parts. I called the local store, and had them shipped to them, and picked them up later.
