I have a pair. Not bad, but not as white as Sylvania claims they are. I saw a pretty good difference, but I'm going to replace them and go for PIAA Supers.

I like them.......

Gives a much nicer look than stock . A very white bright light. But not close to hids. The piaa are whiter but almost 3 times the cost & not that much differnce.The reliability of sylvanias are unsurpassed.

I have a set of these on my SpecV and like them alot. They rund around 19.99 per bulb @ Autozone. The light pattern was much wider than stock and projected further, in addition to the brighter/whiter light. Really helps on dark back-roads @ night.

IMHO, silverstars are mediocre.

They produce white light thats better LOOKING than stock.

But they do not necessarily produce more light. If they are on and you are traveling down a lit highway you will barely see them illuminating the road. On the other hand, in pitch black darkness they illuminate quite well.

But in the rain....illumination SUCKS.

They look better than stock and they're cheaper than PIAA's.

I think PIAA's look better and produce more light
but are a bit expensive.

I'd stay away from Silverstars. I have them now....used to have PIAAS ....next step...HID's......
