Default What are the best headlight bulbs that I can place on a 01 Honda Accord?

I need to replace my head light bulb for my 01 Honda Accord. I have horrible night vision. I would like the best light I can get. What are my options? Thanks.

Sylvania SilverStar Ultra or GE Nighthawk. You can get them at major auto parts stores. The Nighthawk I have only seen in Wal-Mart.

The current crop of blue colored bulbs don't do anything for me. Keep the same wattage bulbs that way you won't burn out the wiring and relays. Just get the exact replacement and buy two bulbs keep the old bulb that works as a spair. That way you can look at the box and have the correct part number for your next pair. Old yellowed lenses can be buffed out with tooth paste. Discolored headlight lenses that don't polish out should be replaced expensive to buy.

As others have mentioned, I would highly recommend Sylvania Silverstar Ultras. They retail for $40-50 USD per set, and they last a decent amount of time (just make sure you do not touch the bulbs with your fingers, as the oil from your hands will cause problems).Here is a link to a photo of a car using regular halogens and the new Silverstar Ultras:http://www.sylvania.com/content/disp...=003693263They are a bit pricy, but short of buying Xenon or HID kits for your car, which can be very expensive, these are the brightest, legal, white bulbs on the market.
