I have silverstars. The low-beam is crap the high beam is nice though. Speaking of these, my drivers side one just blew tonight after a year of use.

silverstars look nice, but they're not too great for vision at night/in the rain.

I have cool blues and I'm happy with them.

I dont know guys, but my buddys running them on his 99, and while on the highway they work great, nice bright, white with a hint of blue on the road. When you get into some of those bulbs with ALOT of blue coating, thats when you loose light output.





As for the rain, just about every non-yellow light sucks. You just cant put down white/blue light on a shiny wet road. So you guys who want that nice "HID" look will just have to suffer in the rain unless you get some lexus-like yellow fogs...

I've been happy with how my Maxima has been setup and running for a while....til my non-Maxima friends got DOT approved PIAA's for their headlights recently. So I did some searching on this board and whoooa!...HIDs, Eurolites, SilverStars...

I went to my local car parts supplier and found the SilverStars. They were approx. 50% cost of the PIAA's and DOT approved....I figure that if the light output is more than half of the PIAA's then I got a good deal! (I'll report back after I had a chance to compare it to the PIAA's.)

I already had been running Cool Blues (also from Sylvania). These made my Cool Blues yellow in comparison. On the road, I found that I can see the road more....significantly more. I am one happy camper!

I have SilverStars in my car right now, used to have overwattage Naxos. The Silverstars are much more white in color, although both offer about the same illumination. In wet weather, both are miserable and I hope to get a real H.I.D. kit shortly.
