I was scratching my head getting lightbulbs as well. When shopping at AdvanceAuto Parts, I found 4 different bulbs for my car, from the same manufacturer (Sylvania, I think). The "regular" bulb, the XV bulb (which is 20% brighter?), the CB bulb (CoolBlue), and the SilverStar. The XV bulb is a few $$ more than the regular, but I've been very happy with it. Only had it in for a couple of weeks, but it feels like I got a more even spread of light in front of the car, as well as being somewhat brighter.
