    My headlight bulbs are 55,000 ( high, low beam, 9005, H11) old, I replaced them with Slyvania Xtravision and they are not as bright as the OEM bulbs.

    What have you used for replacement and was happy with that purchased.

    I replaced my H11 lowbeam bulbs with Sylvania Silverstars and they're decent. I put Nokya yellow H11 bulbs in the foglights and they're great, except the oem reflectors in the foglights have really bad cutoffs. I've since modified some yellow 35w H8 bulbs (one locking tab on the base) and they're working well as DRLs and are plenty bright for nightime use as foglights. The added benefit is they run much cooler than the stock 55w H11 bulbs in the small space in the foglight housing.
