wish they had the HIR bulbs in dual filament form. otherwise halogens suck, i think im going the projector/hid route when i can afford 1500.00 to modify my headlamps.

I have the Silverstars but for the next go around I will try the GE Nighthawks or Philips VisionPlus.

WOW I cant believe you guy's are reccomending Silverstars. You you feel the need to make others throw their money away also, or are you just lieing to yourself so you dont feel so bad after spending $50

Ive had Silverstars and they suck! They are mainly used by people that are too lazy to go out and find a good bulb and just go down to their local parts store and pick up a set of Silverstars.

There are alot better bulbs out there. PIAA's are alot better but still not great. I have since gone to a HID kit that I picked up from a fellow DTR member for $170shipped. After I installed the HID my factory fog lights that I had PIAA xtreeme whit bulbs in looked yellow so I upgraded to a Howen Super 9005 bulb and its alot better.

This pic was taken before I swaped the PIAA fogs for Howen bulbs

HID is the ONLY way to go! $200 shipped and they are incredible! You don't need high beams! I have not used my highs since I had them installed, except when flashing people to get the hell out of my way !
