Sylvania's run for 180 hrs. This is typically 3-4 months. I've had my Piaa's in for 1.5 years now or approximately 30,000 miles. Also there have been stories that the Sylvania's explode in the headlight housing. Thereby creating a big PITA.
Go with the PIAA's they are the best out there for 9004's. Xtreme White is white but they still have a slight blue tint to them (might not be noticable to most people). Super Platinums are the whitest.
I haven't tried the 9007 mod yet but I've been hearing good things about it, and it looks fairly easy to DIY. You might want to try that out, but be sure you check the light angle after install. You dont want to blind everyone else on the road.

how would you mess up the light angle by just changing the type of bulb used? all you are doing is taking out the 9004 harness and replacing it with a 9007. its just brighter. My silverstars work great and are really bright white. Although mine are 9005/9006 id assume they are about the same whiteness/brightness.
what kind of clear corner bulbs do you have? led? they would probably match well.

The high beam output is also effected, the angle is not correct and basically leaves you with high beams that do little in terms of lighting up the area in front of you. They work, but the focus is lost.
Those are the two main reasons I'm not doing that conversion.

Anyone recommend any reasonable priced HID kits? Yeah i wouldnt really recommend them either if your looking for something bright. They look great.. but arnt bright enough for me really. I dont live in the country or anything so i do fine with them but i want to upgrade to something better also.
