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?

 

i just got some h3 bulbs for my 02 max i got um for 15 bucks if you want a set they look nice i have 2 sets at my house i can ship um if you pay its worth 15 bucks even to just try um or have for a spare

 

Go with the silverstars...then if one does blow, you can just go to the local auto parts store....Oh, and mine are fine after 6+ months

 

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?
