Default Best Type of Bulb to use in Projector Headlights?

I put in some Projector headlights in my 98 civic, ive used SilverStar, Redline...and they burn out in 2 months. so my question is, what are a good brand of lowbeam headlight bulbs(hyper white) with good lighting output/good lifespan.

Thanks.

edit: also, how do i aim my bulbs if i want them to be higher or lower?

I'm really liking the PIAA Extreme Whites I'm currently running. Going on over a year now, and I'm using 9005 high beam bulbs in the low beam projectors. Can't do a direct brightness comparison of stock 9006 to PIAA, since I swapped to 9005 at the same time, but color wise, they are very very white with no hint of blue or yellow. These are in stock Integra projectors.

Im using hyper white H4 Luminics now for about 3 monthes. They are ok, I'm planning to do a retro fit though.

Behind the headlight are two gears, one fore left/right and another for up/down. For my headlights, the gear closer to the engine is left/right, the one closer to the fender is up/down.
