I hear that Silvania Silverstars are great.

There is another thread about bulbs and if I'm right they say be careful putting in a brighter bulb because sometimes they draw more power and burn out the wireing harness....but I heard the Silverstars give a higher out put of light without changing the current draw...

I wouldn't go any higher than 80/65

Stock wiring is designed for 55/60.

There are two ways of getting more light on the road: higher efficiency bulbs (like the Sylvania's) and higher wattage bulbs. Switching to higher wattage bulbs poses a problem, in that your electrical wiring starts overheating and can cause an electrical fire, and/or burnt insulation (and resultant electrical failures). If you want to go to higher wattages, splice in a set of relays and thicker wiring to run the replacements; otherwise stick to higher efficiency bulbs.
