PIAA = 2x Silverstar's price, are they 2x nicer?
The color on the Silverstars is 4000K while the PIAA'a appear to be 3800K color. Also, I keep hearing the PIAA blow pretty quick. Is it worth 2x the price? Does anyone have pics of the two side by side?

ok the piaa are way way brighter from what i've seen, my brother works at pep boys and the silverstars are not much brighter than stock, where as the piaa plasma bulbs look just like h.i.d. i have seen them in person and man they look great.. i'm not sure how the are as far as life goes but for looks piaa is the way to go....

Piaa = brighter performance and more $$ (and looks if u get the correct style)
Silverstars = looks but no performance

Irish - Any chance you've got a pic of the Silverstars installed? How do they look next to the HiD's?
