i've found Eurolite bulbs to be great. I prefer them over sylvania/nighthawk/cool blue.

.. somewhat.. mostly the problem with bad bulbs is the stock oem harnesses that are old and rusty. I been running Crapolites on my 89 Civic sedan for 2 years now. Before I would go through a pair a month, until I resaudered and shrink wrapped my new harnesses for my bulbs from another less rusted car from a scrap yard.

In summary - bad wiring deteriorates headlight bulb performance and ultimately the output.
