Headlight Bulbs

I know most of youall have replaced the headlight bulbs. My wife's 09 blew yesterday. What brand and what level have you used. In looking at the parts stores there ae several choices which seem to be the best? I have to wait until monsoon Irma leaves this area,
Thanks
Ron

The more expensive/brighter they are the shorter the life. Do your own math.

I knew they were H13 but there were about 7 or 8 choices at the Advanced Auto near me and I was just wondering if one was better then another. I am going to replace both and also the turn signal bulb while I am at it.

If you are lucky there will be another Sylvania class action payout, I've got 2 so far. $42 for 2 pair.

There are those small marker lights, too. I have one out, it's going to bug me until the headlight goes out and I have to get in there.
