headlights

I know there have been some posts about changing the lights on camaro's. I have already changed them once by pulling the lights out of the housing and putting in new bulbs. I went with some cheap cool blue lights and they looked pretty good and were as good as stock maybe a little better. However they burnt out already and I want to know what are the best ones to put back in there. I do not want to change the housings and do any modifications. I just want a 9005 bulb that will give the best output. Please name some specific brands wattage etc that have worked on your cars. and where to get them as well

thanks in advance

The Sylvania Silverstars are very white/bright. I recommend getting them, but be ready to fork out about $60 a set...BTW, the low beams are 9006's...

thanks for the replies, no i was real careful not to touch the bulbs, I think they were just some cheap light that I got a bad set. I tried to get a replacement but they would not do it. oh well just get something else

Just about all of them will burn out shortly after installation if you touch the bulb...the gas burn very hot in them and the oil from your fingers/skin causes it to heat up differently and all kinds of stuff, and it just blows them...don't touch the glass.

I just always hold them by the plastic base and install them. If I am worried about touching the glass accidentally, I just use anything clean and cloth that will be a fail-safe for me.
