Any bulb from Sylvania, Phillips, Osram, Chicago Miniature Lamp, GE, PIAA,
HELLA and such should be of excellent quality.  There are a number of
"heavy-duty" automotive bulbs that substitute for the common ones -- I
can't find my cross-reference, but they exist.  They use more power to
deliver similar amounts of light with a heavier filament.  Probably readily
available at truck stops and such.
