    questions concerning lifting options...

    what is the best hi beam bulb for max lighting?

    I have just changed over to Wagner TruView bulbs. They have a slight purplish hue to them. They are much improved over the old bulbs I took out. They seem to fill up the housing with more light. Got them for 12.95 a piece at the local federated auto parts store
