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.

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.
