PIAA superwhite on one side, Sylvania silverstars on the other. I like them both.

DOT and SAE standards. These are not barney purple rice bulbs, they're functional and you actually see more.

I don't recommend the PIAA's. At TwinCam, we have issues with them. I highly recommend Catz bulbs, either in Galaxy White if you like totally white bulbs, or Aqua White if you want a blue tint.

Catz makes a really quality bulb.

I too reccomend Catz. I'm sporting their Aqua whites with the catz zeta system, everyone says it looks pure white. wearing PIAA xtreme whtes 1157's seem to be ok, but don't look white enough to me.
