Default Whats the brightest headlight bulb?

for some reason i've never been happy with the amount my headlights light up the road compared to other cars. i've put bright whites in and it helped a little but nothing compared to some. Are HID's the brightest? anybody else have some ideas as to which bulbs to buy? thanks

go with a HID conversion kit, be sure to look at the Kelvin rating,. this is the color of the bulbs, this will run you around 200-400 bucks, you could also try a set of HID simulation bulbs i have a set in my 02 I have been very happy, dont get cheap crap tho good set runs around 30-40 dollars...

Meh. I enjoy my silverstars.... howevvvvvver....

I leveled my truck off, and the headlights are like right in everyone's eyes, even after adjusting them down some... I can't help it, I get flashed maybe 1 outta 40 or 50... so it's not like it's constant.
