Have tried Heliolite XenonHID 9005, true 100W bulbs for high beam, seems to match pretty good. Price is much cheaper than the expensive brands. Also changed fog lights to Polarg 9006 Max yellow 55W. Works better in fog. Noticed majority of people, not just TL owners, like to match all lights. I think this is kind of difficult. Personally, I like to have different colors for diffrent applications, such as yellow for fog, blue for city lights etc, which sort of gives my car a bit of uniqueness.
I've tried many diff bulbs from other manufactures on my previous vehicles, & the 5 cars my family currently owns, 3 of them are Acura's, + Honda & Nissan, I found little difference in performance except the cheaper ones generally don't last as long.

Amen to that bro!!! I put silverstars on my car, one side was sylvania, and one side was the stock bulb. If I didn't know which bulb was which, I would say they're the same. For the price of the silverstar's, it's not worth it.

As the guy said, either go for the Eaglites, or PIAA Superwhite fogs. Those are also an amazing match, but be prepared to pay big bux for them. Eaglites are quite affordable, and are a good match.

good luck.

Why do you people change the high beam? I rarely use it. Only time is when I'm highbeaming people for driving too slow.
