yeah I have them....I like them because when not lit they are not amber in color and look better behind clear lenses. Also the light is very crisp.

I have them as well.

I like how when not lit they have more of a blueish look, which looks cleaner.

Down side, they're expensive, and when lit they have a hint of green

But I have had them in for about 10 months and haven't had a problem.

I have them too. They are ok but If I were doing it again I would probably have not spent the money on them. The 9004's were worth it but now paying $20 for some more orange bulbs isn't that good. They are brighter though.

I bought, used and returned the Silverstar headlights (9004)

I returned them because:
I pulled both of my maximas next to each other and had 3 ppl judge them. All of them said that the stock or OEM bulbs looked better/brighter than the Silverstars.
I pulled out 1 Silverstar and put in a noname blue type bulb(procarparts.com) that costs 1/2 the price and the same 3 ppl said the noname bulb was the better/brighter.
For the price I expected something bright. They also have the blue bulb and I expected the blueish-white look when they were on.

Based on this I would never purchase Silverstars again no matter what type of bulb.

Here are some pics of the bulbs in my front turn signals.And yes those are the Silverstar headlight bulbs. I'm glad I didn't pay for them.

not all places have return policies like that.... I had some streetglow 9004's for about a week (hated them) and I returned them with no problem.

Have them, and I like them with lights on (which is how I always have them) and I am very pleased. They give off a much crisper amber, almost with a red tint.

i have them also. i was sick of the stock orange bulb and yes $20 is expensive but i think the blue tint looks good. when lit up they aren't as "orangey" as stock.
