they will both blow out over time. but Luminics will blow out twice as fast as the Silverstars.

I use 9011 HiR bulbs in my car, stock color but a whole lot more output. Unless youre 9005 or 9006, that's not much help though...

what's the deal with the luminics? they just an overly expensive cheap-o headlight bulb? I just bought them for the Camry and H4H's for my 1pcs on the DA...and they weren't cheap...don't tell me they majorly suck. If you do, tell me where the hell I can get H4H's for a non-ridiculous price?

You should just buy the Sylvania XtraVisions at walmart. they actually are brighter than the silverstars and put out the same light color. I know this cuz ive had both and i run the Xtravisions now. Plus theyre half the price

I have a set of Luminics for my highbeams and SilverStars for my low beams. I heard the SilverStars are overdriven to produce a good light output with the "blue" coloring. The Luminics Yellow bulb is good for driving in wet weather, and its JDM y0

I plan on upgrading to HIR Bulbs do a search about them on google.

don't even waste your money on those HID bulbs... they suck, and they die quickly

Silverstars by far. I've had both and the light output and color of the silverstars is awesome. they may be a little more expensive, but very worth it if you ask me.
