I've searched the site for the same thing, found that most people like the Sylvania (sp) Silverstars - 9005 headlights, 9006 high beams (or also 9005? - not sure - got confused with the Denali stuff), 880 fog/driving, and 3157 turn signals
I've heard PIAAs are nice but much more $$
I called Oreilly's and they had all the Silverstars I need so I'll be going there probably within the next few days.

I just put in the 9006 and 9005 and turn signal lamps - the 880's didnt fit my fog/driving, those I found out are 4157 for the daytime driving and 9145 for the fog lamps. I know I should have looked before buying them.....no biggie
Looks like they dont have Silverstar 4157's yet, but I hardly use the daytime driving lamps anyways.
The turn signals look much better when off, being kind of a pearl color instead of orange. and the regular headlights and high beams are much brighter/whiter Haven't road tested yet...

yes, the Silverstars light up orange but when off they are a pearl color
these pics aren't very good - this is just with the camera flash, but you get the idea
first is stock orange, 2nd is Silverstars

I get em at cost so I use PIAA. They are much higher wattage and work extremely well. I have not had any issues with overhating the housing and I run my Hi's and low at that same time.
Best bulb out there IMO. but for the money Silverstars would be my next choice.
