Default bulb replacement

I know this has been on before but I can't find the thread so, what is a good replacement for the stock headlamp bulb. Silverstar or PIAA? Which number??

Oh, and while I have you, have any of you converted to the HD mirrors with running lamps/turn signals?
What are your impressions? Thanks for all.

I got the SIlverstar. It's a great upgrade over stock and it's available at my local Advance auto parts store as well as Walmart. So whever I go, I can replace it if needed. Now if I could just find the numbers for the silverstar passing lights

The replacement bulb is an H4.I've used the silverstar(better price),currently I'm using a PIAA extreem white.The PIAA is available in an anivibration bulb,more money but it takes a beeting.Both bulbs make a huge differance at nite.

Any H4 bulb will work.
