Out of these which do y'all think are the best for my money and brightest? I drive quite a bit at night on country roads where it's really dark. I've heard the zxe's don't last long...any thoughts are appreciated (or other brands/bulbs). Thanks!

I want more light on my truck as well, especially for winter driving up north during sledding season, is it almost winter yet.....but buying most of those bulbs is wasting money and their life span is allot shorter.
I suggest invest in a LED light bar instead, lots of threads on here about them.
I think that is the route I will go, just need to read through some of the posts to see how best to wire them in, I am thinking I want mine to come on with high beams and also a manual override switch, but do not want some hack wiring job either.

H11 to H9 conversion makes a big difference

i had HIDs in my truck,

I just ended up going back to the oem harness with silverstar ultras


If your looking for bright lights, get a LED bar, adding high wattage systems can cause issues with the factory harness and switch


I went back to stock for less headaches

I run Silverstar ultras in my low beams and fog lamps - it makes a noticeable difference over factory bulbs in my Jeep Commander.

I mostly drive in the city, but we do get some craptacular weather around here (MOST folks don't realize, that Pittsburgh has MORE rainy days/year than Seattle... :eek:), so my low beams and fog lamps get used a LOT... not so much the high beams, so I left them stock. YMMV.
