Stock headlight question

[Ford Cowboy]

I have a 2000 f350 with the stock headlights and was wondering, if i throw a brighter bulb in there how much of a difference will it make? I'm tired of the dull yellow beam they project now I know I could buy aftermarket headlights and hid's but I kinda like the stock look. Thanks for any help or suggestions.

I put in sylvania silverstar ultra bulbs they are a lot brighter. 30-40 bucks on ebay.

Alrighty, I might give those a try. As for the dog, he's a semi retarded brittany.

Ford Cowboy,
What yr is your truck?
the 99-01 have a dull "frosted" cover but the 02-04 have a clear lens. It is a direct bolt in the put 02-04 headlights in the front of an older truck.

This is what i plan on doing to get rid of my dull lights. The brighter bulbs would just be a bigger bonus.

It's a 2000 model. I have thought about replacing my headlights with the 02-03 headlights and installing some brighter bulbs. I think that would be a vast improvement over what I have now. From what I have read, the 02-03 headlight bolts up exactly the same as the stock headlight. The only thing that is different (I think) is the headlight adjuster.

That's what I did - made a big difference. I run SilverStars - They work for me.
