Default Headlights

My headlights on 08 X bites! Can't see nothing. I'm looking to replace the bulbs. Any suggestions on a brand of bulbs that won't burn out after a month? Or do I need to buy new a headlight kit?

Is there a certain size I need to look for? Can I get it at a auto store or should check eBay and amazon?

Any of the above listed helps a lot! though I would grab a set of fog lights to help shore up the difference in lights. There is that annoying 15' range of darkness in front of me with the Slyvania lights still. Does not bother me if its back country dark but most of the half lit areas i turn my fogs on to light up the road right in front of me.

Great advice! Still deciding on fog lights too. Maybe I should of bought a jeep that was already fully loaded. But then again that would take all the fun away.
