I've used the whole thing. Sylvania Halogens, the cool blues, then Silverstars, and now McCulloch 5300k HID.

If you dont want to spend the 400 bucks to do HID right (w projectors, etc) and you just want better headlights, the silverstars DO make a difference.

They aint no HID, but nothing besides HID are...

Theres a reservoir under your dashboard called the 'charcoal canister'. The fluid is poured in there and becomes a vapor. It bounces the vapor around in the charcoal, exciting the electrons and providing a strong electrical current for the power to go through.

Yup, thats how it works

You'll see a little more light on the road, but don't expect them to look anything like HID's.

The consensus is in!

Everyone thats moved up the ladder says HID is the best, but silverstars are the brightest you can get, but still aren't HID.

You WILL get a brighter light output from silverstars vs halogens...but youre not going to light up the night....theyre pretty much 'super halogens', nothing more...
