Wow, those silverstars look like they aint no joke. Maybe they'd pay you to give a real customer testimonial.

They definitely help driving on dark roads too....one of main reasons I got them because the road to get to work is very dark....

Cracked....turned hardcore yellow and so much water getting inside....
Was going to do the DIY headlights, but had to buy a new one anyway, so I just bought these for the same price as one new one....

So did you buy black housing headlights or did you paint your stock ones?

Good comparison. I need some new bulbs and was wondering about the Silverstars....convinced now, though.

did you guys do the 9005 conversion? or are these 9006 direct plug and play bulbs? i was thinking about getting a set of the 9006 (w/o the 9005 conversion) and was just wondering if they'd be worth it.. since i heard that 9005 was the only way to get the "hid effect"... was just wondering how the 9006 silverstars compare to oem 9006 bulbs.. and how the 9006 silverstars would compare to a 9005 silverstars conversion.. TIA

And I didn't do any conversion those are the regular 9003 bulbs....close enough to HID for the price for me tho...
