ok i have a 2005 ford ranger but for some reason my headlights aren't all that bright and i am wanting to replace them what are the best kind i should look into?

Halogen are the brightest, but they are expensive.

I got two of my best friends with flashlights to run in front of my car at night. It worked for a while until I had to pass a slower car in the right lane. The flowers I had to pay for at the funeral were very expensive.

Halogen lights will be the brightest.

That is completely up to you. I would hang 2 kerosene lanterns of the front of the hood.
