TYC projector bulb replacement. Any suggestions?

I have a 2003 with TYC projector headlamps. Recently one of my low-beam bulbs burned out and I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good replacement bulb or a website where I could find more information on a pair. The TYC projectors use an H1 bulb and have a tolerance of 55W. Thanks.

Yeah, I second manthatguysfast, I bought the car with the tyc's on, so I dont know much about them. I was at autozone the other day and saw some Sylvania Silverstar 55W H1 bulbs, any thoughts?

Dont bother getting those Sylvania Silverstars seriously.....i tried them in my tycs and i wasnt impressed....If you know where to get the GE Megalight bulbs they would be much better for you (h1 bubl type)

osram silverstar = 300 more lumens of light. H1 bulb of the year. Sylvania silverstar is garbage. the filament is overdriven which severely reduces the bulb life to less than a year. and the coating robs light output.
