Just use standard 60/55W bulbs. Definitely DO NOT get any sort of
"blue" bulb, they're for poseurs who want people to think they have HID
lighting. They actually have less light output and increase glare. Most
of them are also illegal in the US.

If you want an upgrade from the standard bulbs, there are "+50" bulbs
available from the major manufacturers - Osram SilverStar (_not_
Sylvania SilverStar), Philips VisionPlus,  Narva RangePower+50 are
examples.
