Hmmm there's literally a million brands, I like PIAA the best for their quality I've used their bulbs for years and haven't had one blown out. A few off the top of my head are...

PIAA
Polarg
Raybrig
Sun Automotive
Sylvania
Nokya
RAZO
Koito

Ask around and get opinions because bulbs are not only sometimes expensive they can cause harness damage if they are high wattage or really bad quality, but recognized name brands should be ok.

With bulbs, taking into account proper installation procedure like not touching the bulb, dropping some rubbing alcohol onto it to remove dirt will ensure you get what you pay for in this instance. The higher priced sets usually perform better.
