Which bulbs do you run in your headlights and in your fogs?

Had the Piaa Superwhites, now I'm on to the Eurolite Xenon Plasma. Much brighter and a LOT less expensive.
 






sylvania silverstars.. the xenon ones are known to cause wiring problems later on..too high in wattage and could cause the wiring to fry

How much brighter? I have the PIAAs right now and was looking for something brighter
 






I have Silverstars and they match my PIAA 510 driving lights pretty well.
 






Eurolite Xenon Plasmas as well on mine.
 






Word of warning about Eurolite bulbs, they have a short life span. I had two sets of Eurolite 893s when I had my stock fogs and both sets ended up lasting about 7 months. I also know other people that have had bad luck with Eurolite bulbs.
 






I have a set of APC 9004's in mine they give that blue look with a matching set of off brand in my foglights the head lights are 120 highs and 80 lows and the fogs are 55 and i have yet to have any wiring problems what so ever.

Does anyone know is a set of Mazda B2200 Tail lights would fit the back of my 93 explorer?

They look really close pics to come soon!
 






I can't really give you a good indication of how much brighter they are, but I know that they are burning at 4100 K as opposed to the 3800 k the PIAA's were burning at. Also, I get flashed a lot going down the road now and I never got flashed once with the PIAA's.
 






Silverstars. As Hartmann said, they match the 510's nicely. They aren't as bright or (blueish) white as the PIAA 1100 lights though.
 






I've got those eBay Hiper crystal blue bulbs. Really happy with them so far.....
 






I got the hyper whites from auto zone, almost two years old now.
 






I had PIAA headlight bulbs (one burnt out 2 days ago after only a year and a half) and i've also got Streetglow 893s in the fogs and the Streetglows are brighter and more white for less than half the price of the PIAAs. I just ordered a set of 9007s for my headlights on ebay.
