I grew up on western PA - and yes you cannot have enough light on a backroad to try to see the deer. And we all know - it is not the DEER you see that are of concern - it is his buddies waiting to jump infront of you from outta nowhere.

But the idea of "put these bulbs in your car to see better" is sucker marketing. as stated above the whole unit should be replaced to have the most impact.
There are indeed bulbs you can put in your car to see better. I have 9005's for 9006's in my car, and my fiancee's car has a pair of European H4 bulbs that make the OEM American-spec H4 bulbs look like candles in comparison. In both cases there's much more light just from changing a bulb.

Both are clear glass, and better-engineered than the OEM-spec equipment.

Now Sylvania SilverStar bulbs are pure trash. Blue tinting never helped anybody see better.
