Default Bright Lights

I am want to replace my head light bulbs to something a bit more bright, i also want my fogs to match my headlights.

I know some of you have done this i just want to buy some good lights not the crap on ebay/amazon.

I also don't want to do any HID conversion. Just a simple light bulb that might give me a bit more shining power at night.

Thanks guys.

I would definitely go with HID's Check out DDMtuning.com their kits are cheaper than a set of Silverstars or similar upgraded bulbs. You'll love the HID's.

There are some good lights on ebay. I have these and they are Super Bright. Also matching high and fogs.

NOKYA
7000K 80W
STAGE 2
ARCTIC WHITE
H11

These are a great alternative to a HID conversion.

x2!!!

I was a HID holdout forever, didnt want ricer look or hard install and short life.

But i gave in and ordered DDM HID 35 watt kit 6000k.

Damn i love them , have them in my lows and driving lights and son of a bitch they are way brighter, clearer and look awesome. Just a nice clear super bright white light, maybe just a small small hint of blue. Dont need my brights anymore!

Do it, you'll be glad you did.!!!

Thanks to all the members here who suggest the DDM kits, they are outstanding and really cost reasonable.

I always thought the silverado lights were bright as hell with no need to upgrade. With the brights on I can even see in the tops of trees.

I wouldn't mind dropping some 3000k into the fog lights though, that would be the ideal hue for them.

I cant believe you would need lights brighter than what comes on these trucks. You should seriously consider getting your eyes checked. Lights any brighter are going to blind oncoming traffic before you realize you havent switched to your dims.

Its really not the brightness, but the quality of light you get with the HID that makes them so awesome and referred to as " brighter" The clarity from Stock bulbs to HID is out of trhis world.

And thats safer in my opinion. specially on a black un lit section of road.

I have no problems seeing with the stock lights, I'm actually pretty impressed with them. Why do you want a brighter bulb?
