Replacement headlight bulbs?

Whats the best replacement for the headlight bulbs?

A quick Amazon search brings up the two most popular as:

Sylvania H13/9008 SU SilverStar Ultra

and

Philips H13 9008 X-treme Power

Does anyone have any experience with either of these bulbs?

Had the SilverStars in mine, no complaints. Definitely brighter, whiter light output.

How are they in the rain? I had some fancy blue "offroad" lights on my Ranger back in the day and they were great except for when the road was wet, I couldn't see my hand infront of my face.

Light output was great regardless of driving conditions. However, note that I also swapped out the original fogs with the SilverStar 9145st also. I'm one of those guys that ran all 4 lights on at all times. No "blue hue" for me, I prefer clean, white light. IMO best set up without going HID.

The big thing with the SilverStar Ultras is that even on the package it says for best performance, to replace the bulbs yearly due to the higher output they deliver. I had them in my Thunderbird and felt that they started dimming rather quickly. They were definitely the best halogen bulbs I've ever bought though.
