i upgraded to the gte/osram silverstars which i am pleased with. they have a higher color temp and are substantially whiter than the stock bulb. there is no increase in wattage which keeps your wiring/connectors safe. chryco service manager member sae anyone have a recommendation for a good headlight bulb upgrade these stock headlights just arent doing it for me... dale not camille .
