These are excellent and reasonably priced replacements for your stock bulbs. If you prefer to pick up something at your local auto parts store, look for Sylvania XtraVision's.

i tried them all.

sylvania silverstars will give you the highest lumens(light output).910-1500 lumens to be exact. their color temp. is 4000k. the watts is slightly same as a stock halogen bulbs.(stock is 60/55w - silverstars is 65/72w)retail $49.99 pair.

below that are sylvania xtra-vision. 910-1500lumens with color temp. of 3200k. (55/60w) retail $24.99 pair

next under that would be stock halogen bulbs. i believe they put out about 910-1500 lumens also and 3200k for the color temp. retail(55/80w) $15.99 pair

than you would have the sylvania cool blue($34.99) but i say those are not worth it.

all these spec are taken from sylvania 9003/h4 spec light bulbs. other bulbs and size might have different spec.

as for the rest of those ebay crap that claims to have super bright light that is blue/white-ish are junk!! PIAA is a good brand but its too pricy for me. around 50-70 bucks. the stock will give you the longest life and the silverstars will give you the least. each light bulb has it's own spec. i have notice that 9003 bulbs have very high lumen output despite any color temp or brand. but their poor housing makes it look like crap on the ground.

TO ANSWR YOUR QUESTION I SAY STICK WITH STOCK HALOGEN. or go HID!

stick with philps or sylvania. your car is 9003/h4.

I can vouch for the excellence of these. I dont think there is another bulb (without going HID's of course) that puts out more lumens than these. I ordered them from that link and once I drove with them at night I decided I never wanted to own a car without them again (exception being a car with HID's). They get from me.

If you are referring to the GE MegaLight Plus, the tests and reviews that I've read indicate that they do not perform as well as the Philips VisionPlus bulbs.
