Any recommendations for Xenon bulbs that fit like OEM,provide good visibility/life expectancy and are not too expensive?

What kind are the OEMs (xenon, halogen, incandescent, LED, etc.)?

To avoid problems stick with OEM type bulbs.

Xenon aka HID bulbs do not perform well in lights not designed for them.

Stick with halogen. Phillips is good. Sylvania is another good brand.

Go to a big box store, you can find different levels of ‘brightness’ of halogen bulbs from Sylvania. I assume Phillips also has a variety of bulbs.
