PIAA makes great bulbs, but if you want to save some money, get sylvania silver stars

PIAA Extreme Whites

I've used Silverstars and one bulb blew on me. I'm now using xteme Whites (4100k) and they produce nice white beam.. THey seem to be 'whiter' than the H3's Xtreme Whites which have a bit of a bluish tint....

I had PIAA Xtremem Whites. They were definitely brighter at night than OEM bulbs. They improve your visibility at dry night. When it's wet out, it's a different story.

I saw no difference in whiteness when using the silverstars, IMO they suck big time. Wasted my money on those!

Silverstars and Cool Blues from Sylvania look the same. Had one of each in the car to see if there was a difference and nada... Silverstars are not worth the extra money. IMO.

I'm gonna have to disagree with the above opinions of Silverstars. I think they are a lot brighter and whiter than the stockers. They are fine when it come to precip. too.

- What I said was Cool Blues and Silverstars are the same. No difference IMO from another. I do agree that they are brighter and whiter than stock units.
