Osram Night Breakers are the best for the price and legal.

^ The only qualms with OSRAM Nightbreakers are that they don't last long (typical for halogens...brighter bulb = less life) and there are better bulbs for the job in bad weather (yellow is optimal for rain). Otherwise they're good stuff

I'm running the Philips X-Treme Power H4's that I got from PowerBulbs.com...
Philips X-Treme Power H4 from Power Bulbs | Free Worldwide Delivery
They are a noticeable improvement from the stock bulbs. They're nothing special in terms of color temp, just plain white and not HID-look. They do put out more light and in a nice pattern, though, which is ultimately the point of headlights. I don't know how longevity will be, but even if I have to replace them every couple of years, the extra light from a proper, legal halogen bulb is worth it to me.

I've read that Halogens burn out quicker if you touch the glass part when you're installing them. Something to do with the oil from your fingers...
I've had the same SilverStars in my scooters for 2 years now w/o problems, but I prolly don't ride and use their headlights as much as you do with your car..

Now that I've said that, they'll blow next week. Well they were only $30, I'll just buy a new set.

I have had them in my Yaris for 3 years and my Fit for 1 year with no problems up to now.
