Question Brighter Headlights

I need much brighter headlights for my '06 Lacrosse. My friend got Philips X-Treme for his '09 Focus and loves them, but apparently not made for Lacrosse. Is there anything comparable ?

You can try Silverstars. I'm not sure if they have a long lifespan or not. I know there is one "high end" brand that has a much shorter life compared to similar bulbs, but I can't seem to find that information right now.

Question Brighter headlights for Lacrosse

Thanks Xlt for trying. Will look into Silverstars, but still hoping for more choices.

These look like they might be good.

Well, I did and at firs they were great! But after about a year they burn out. Come to find out if you look at the back of the package it gives the service life of the bulbs (~100 hrs.). I went back to the standard OEM bulbs (~1000 hrs.). The after market bulbs are good but don't last. And trying to replace the bulbs are a pain. I couldn't even get my hand in to access removal. Said to hell with it and had my mechanic do it. Nothing is simple these days.
