Multiple threads available on this subject. Biggest debate is what your willing to spend. The one thing we ALL agree on is stock is insufficient! Day makers, LED bulbs, EC reflector cans, JDSpeaker are all options!

Which Rocket do you have? For the R3T the cheapest fix is to just install a 7" E code reflector unit in it with a better bulb. For less than $100 you will see a lot better. It gets more expensive from there but the utlimate now seems to be LED units from JW Speaker or Truckight. The same options are available for the standard and roadster but with 2 headlights you spend more.

LEDs are getting there . . . not there yet for me.

More light usually means more power . . . so please take into account as you're thinking about upgrade, if you haven't already done so, bypassing the ignition and light switches with an Eastern Beaver kit or equivalent, where your main power is handled by relay, and the switches only handle the reduced power needed to actuate the relays. In doing this, one has the option on the R3T, to upgrade the single light -- I installed a 110W bulb -- and the two driving lights -- something greater than the stock 35W.

All just possibilities.
