And i saw those hyper white bulbs - will they be much brighter than my stock bulbs because i can barley see **** when im driving home right now.

And do they last a while?

I don't know about these, but I replaced mine with the Sylvania Cool Blue, and they are still phenominal after 1.5 years. I would recommend those.

If the clear lexan lens portion of your headlamp capsules is cloudy or stone chipped, no manner of bulb is going to do much better.
Believe me, it was a real learning experience with the '97 SE. Weighed all the option, tried both Nokia and Piaa Extreme Whites to no avail.
Broke down and swapped in a set of OEM replacement headlamp capsules and doubled my light output. I've been running Silverstars ever since.

If you want a real graphic example of what I'm talking about; spec out Cherokees and Neons of several years vintage. The headlamp lens get so bad that they actually turn yellow/white. As the lens turns opaque from clear, less light makes it all the way thru the plastic.
