Lights?

Lights?
Gonna do two things soon: PIAA 9007s (?) and Clear corners up front.
2 questions:
1) Sticking with regular bulbs, are the PIAA 9007s the best to get? I can't afford HIDs but would like a more intense/better setup then the stock one.
2) Who makes the most quality clear corners? I had APC ones on my tbird and they constantly got condensation etc. I would rather keep the stock ones on my L then go through that kind of crap again.
Thanks

Personally i like the ford clears the best, i had an aftermarket rears and corners and finally went with the ford 01+ OEM's and havent had a problem in two years.
as for the lights 9007 is just the model of bulb u need for a brighter more "WHITE" light u have to increase the "K" value, the stocks are about 2000K, H.I.D.'s are 6000K
look here for piaa bulb index and K values
http://www.piaa.com/9000seriesbulbs.html
and go here if ya want to purchase..

I would go with the Silverstars from Sylvania. I believe they are 4200k. I have them both in my headlights and driving lights. I know Advance Auto Parts stock them and so does Fairfax Auto Parts where I work, but that doesnt help you if you dont live in No. Va. The Siver Stars kick much ***

4000K - according to this - standard halogens are 3200K

where's the cheapest I can find the Silverstars at? I think I'm going to go with those...
Also, do they make a matching fog setup? I heard they did but couldn't find it online.
Thanks for all the help.
Also how hard is the install? I know in my tbird taking the entire headlight housing out took 5 minutes total time. 3 -4 bolts and slide it out. Then simply twist and unplug. Haven't looked at our trucks' ones yet but I've heard the driver's side is a lot more involved?
