Take a look.
To the poster, if you plan on keeping the blackouts, expect poor lighting. No matter what you put in, the blackouts will block most of your light output.
For the money, Luks are the best. Cheaper than stock and more wattage. (Colored, fake "HID" bulbs also put out more watts but have a blue tint which reduces output to achieve the color).

Re: need brighter lights!!!!
In my opinion, it is the housings. The 93-97 housings simple do not do a good job of projecting the light. Too small...
The Silverstars put out the same wattage as stock but have that purple tint to them to achieve the white look. But the tint that filters out the yellow color also reduces output. If you want a cleaner looking light, Silverstars are OK. A little overpriced, but OK.
The 93-97 housings simply need as much wattage as possible.

^ a lot more money , a lot more work involved, and a lot better light
however after you get the first one in the rest go pretty quickly... just gotta figure out what you are doing
it took me around 4 hours to get the first one in, and about 45 min for the second, i havnt put the brights in yet

Re: need brighter lights!!!!
i'd say forget the headlights, if you're going with blackouts, headlights are gonna be bad no matter what...
get some foglights, i have Hella ff75's, $40 off ebay, in my foglight positions, they make a HUGE difference in lighting...
$40 and 30 mins install = much better lighting
