VERY pleased with Silverstars *pics omg!!*

Its been discussed before...of course...but I was recently donated a pair of 9004 Silverstars...and I am VERY pleased with them.

In the past I have had:

-XENON brand from Target....6/10
-PIAA extreme white............7/10
-Sylvania cool blue...............3/10
-Silverstars........................9/10

They look 100% WHITE and not yellow/halogen color....and put out a very bright beam for high's and low's

Few pics:

Sisverstars are garbage, they are. For the price you pay to get them(I know you got them for free) they should be 10x better. They are poop in the rain, cause they're white. I had $12 ebay bulbs that had the same color output but they lasted me 2+ years. I had the SS after those and they lasted me 6 months and 13 days. If they were free they'd be a great deal to get.

I agree, premature burnouts is a major problem.

They were the worst bulb I ever put in my headlights. Visibility was terrable with their powder blue light and the light basically dissappeared on wet roadway.

Biggest waste of money on a bulb ever, I took them out after only 1 week of use.

i didnt know there was so many negative "feedbacks" about silverstars...

I dunno, they seem awesome for me.

THT - they're just "icy hots"

I got some for my Z and the Maxima for free. I used the ones in the Z. Not too bad in dry weather, but crap in the rain. My Xtravisions in the Maxima are far better.
