I wouldnt really advise using the radio shack l.e.d's. go the http://www.thezeb.com an then click on VARAD, they have led kits that come with the resistors and they are REALLY bright.

I don't use overly expensive bulbs but I've never had much luck with them, everyone says PIAA's are garbage but I think I'm going try those next.

Silverstars are good.. they give off a white light not that "ricer" blue look... and don't spend more than $19.99 per bulb..

Most people with PIAA, including a friend of mine, has had them burn out in a few months. Stick with major brands like philips, sylvania, etc. I've had my sylvania cool blues last about 2 years.

Problems with piaa like mentioned before is that they really suck when it rains, barely see the road. secondly yeah sometimes the bulbs burn out quickly but so far mine has lasted a year now.

I also like my Silverstars - they're whiter (a little) and brighter (definitely) than stock. I got mine at AutoZone for 19.99 each, then I saw them a week later at Pep Boys for 22.99 a set after rebate.

Silverstars are great. Expect to pay around 25-30CDN for them. Hefe mentioned a price of $20, but I think he was referring to US funds...
