Default Best light bulbs Polarg, Raybrig, PIAA, or passwordjdm's?

I am looking into getting some good brand name ones either piaa, polarg, or raybrig. The passwordjdm light bulb seem pretty solid. I just wanted to know if the usdm headlight for the eg6 used the h4 or h4h?

Witch one is better to get since they're seem to many kind to choose from piaa, polarg, or raybrig. There is white sonic, Platinum Super White, Xtreme White Bulbs etc etc...? I am looking for something good i don't mind the price

Also witch are the ones that the foglights used I want to get some brighter bulbs for my foglights they are yellow foglights do i have to get a yellow bulb or a white bulb since the glass is already yellow i don't know??

thankz

USDM use H4/9003.

Check my sig for a review on the Philips X-Treme Power +80%. Best bulbs I've ever had.

The kind of bulbs you want for your headlights are stock wattage, high output, and untinted/unfiltered glass.

For your foglights, I sugguest Polarg MaxClear bulbs

Just out of curiosity, what leads you to suggest these (an honest question - no sarcasm intended)?

The Philips Vision Plus has been tested and found to work extremely well, albeit in a different bulb size. While the performance of the H4 or H7 version does not necessarily correlate to the performance of the H3 version, it's nevertheless fair enough to assume that the H3 Vision Plus will be a good choice.

Is there a specific advantage claimed by the Polargs, or are they simply a high-quality uncoated bulb?

I wasn't aware they made a Vision+ in H3 .... I thought they were just H4 and H7. If so, that would be an equally good product (I can only assume). My girlfriend has the Polarg B1's in her clear OEM squares, and they're quite nice. Have about a year on them, and no blowouts yet.

Like I said before, they're H4 / 9003 (both are the same bulb).

I would not get PIAA's for best viability. Here's a quote from a guy who bought the Philips X-Treme's.
