What are recommended replacements for the original headlight bulbs of the 06 Doublecab. I am planning on getting brighter lights and would like some safe reasonable bulb options. Thanks

Sylvania SilverStar Ultra's.
The headlights should be the 9003's and the fogs are the 9006's.

The ge nighthawks are pretty good from what I have read. Do a search back a bit and the discussion on the siverstars comes up less than stellar. The sylvania website lists the bulbs as having a 150 hr life and folks have been saying that they lasted about 8 months which seems to go along with that. The GE bulbs are rated for 150/800 which is I think the High beam/low beam rating in hours (not sure but seems to make sense).

Take a look here: What headlight bulbs are yall running?

Also take a look at Daniel Sterns site on these bulbs: Daniel Stern Lighting Consultancy and Supply

i second this motion, soon i will get the fogs too, i just got the headlights for now. They are pricey though, run about 50 bucks

They make a huge difference though. I upgraded all my interior lamps as well with super bright white PIAA's. You don't realize how yellow the stock bulbs are until you upgrade to some of these lamps.

Thats what I have in my Tundra. Had them in my daily driven Honda Civic but they only lasted about 10-12 months.

I had the Sylvania Silverstars which lasted almost 3 years until one of them burnt out recently. I just ordered a set PIAA GT-X, $44 shipped from amazon.
