best bulbs

which bulb is the best to use: sylvania xtravision or silverstar ultras?

does anyone have clear pics of the two side by side?

for some reason the silverstar regulars look yellowish in new 97-99 lights i put in . so would it just make sense to get xtravision bulbs instead, if they both look the same in color?

Silverstars dont do well in rain, no colored bulbs do. Xtravisions are the best for visibility.

for the 9007 conversion I just rewired the plug that came with the car and I can see the difference in brightness by a lot. I have silverstar ultras and they do the job for me and they look like a nice bright/crisp white.

Do it the relay way. The brightness is awesome, much better than just swapping the wires(Ive had 9004, 9007 wires and now, 9007 relay harness)

Yes, reaiming will be necessary.
