High beam bulb

My high beam bulb went out on my 2009 today. I suspect the bulb will need replacing. Does anyone have any recomendations on bulbs that work i.e. brightness, durability?

We stopped to take some picture and explore a little along the way so we spent about 3.5 hours on the route from Amado to Patagonia. I am sure you could cut an hour off of that if you kept moving.

Casa Grande to Yumaa route

I am looking for a nice dirt route from the Casa Grande area to Yuma. Some slab time would be alright but mostly dirt would be great.

Thanks in advance.
