Better headlight for a 1996 Windstar?

Hello everyone,

Can anyone recommend an upgraded bulb (commonly available) to use in this? Any of the Sylvanias perhaps?

Thanks!

Just be careful. Be EXTREMELY wary on claims of extra brightness. There are basically two ways to make a light brighter: increase wattage, or make the filment thinner or shorter to burn hotter, at the expense of usable life. Problem is, the stock wiring and contacts on many of the US-style lights can barely handle the stock 55/65W! A higher wattage could melt connectors or start a fire.

Stay away from 'blue' bulbs. Any coating added to a bulb to give it a bluer color actually REDUCES it's total light output.
