Please don't get the bright bulbs and then go out on the street blinding people. Can you say road rage?
Go to danielsternlighting.com to get some good informa-
tion on lighting. I called him to see if he had anything for my '05 Frontier. He said that the '05 is difficult to upgrade
and that he did not have anything to sell me that was any better than the stock bulbs.
He also said if I wanted to change bulbs to get the GE Nighthawk as it was better than the Silverstars. He does not sell either so I assume what he says is true.
Consumer Reports did a test on replacement bulbs on a
Chrysler Sebring, A Honda Ridgeline, and a Toyota Camry.
On distance the stock bulb was as good as any of the replacement bulbs in all but the Honda.
The Nighthawk outperformed the Silverstar in two of the
vehicles and was tied with it in the third one. The Night-
hawk was the best light on the Honda.
They did not test a Frontier so we can't be sure which bulb is best, but if I were going to do one it would definitely be the Nighthawk. I'll wait until I have a bulb failure to make a decision.
The replacement bulbs did have a whiter light which I like the looks of but it did not light the distance as well as the
more yellow light of the stock bulbs.

Thinking of getting off-road lamps for the fog lamps so they can be turned on or off as needed.
