best hi-watt headlight bulbs?

what are the best high wattage, plasma or hyper-white headlight bulbs?

i realize "best" is a relative term...but which ones give the most usable white light?

i plan to upgrade my harness to be able to handle 100w bulbs, and am looking for a good hyperwhite bulb. places like Ebay and other vendors are flooded with advertised bulbs...what is the most popular?

i know i have seen some "hyperwhites" or "plasma" bulbs that look good when looking at the car, but don't do CRAP on the highway

Only a few have actual 100 watts or more.
These are some decent ones.

Might want to search that one. They aren't just plug and play.
I haven't had time in the last year to work on it - but there a "Lighting Guide" link in my sig you might learn a little from.

You can find a plethora of information here though.

i would say the best way to do a high watt upgrade for the LT1 lights would be to do the harness upgrade, and install a set of bulbs he linked to in the sealed beam lenses.
