I had silverstar st bulbs on my lancer and it was definitely woth the money. brighter, whiter beam and threw about 30% farther than stock. Very good buy. I say they are the best thing next to HID's

Yeah get silverstars, I believe they are also DOT approved. A lot of the cheapos make a brighter, whiter light by using a higher wattage, and using a thinner filament, which makes them burn out and possibly damage your wiring harness. Lights are one place you don't want to be cutting corners.

Depends who you ask, people with silverstars will support silverstars, and the people with CATZ will support CATZ. If you want bright, blue-white bulbs, get the CATZ, if you want a light which many people stand by and are very high quality, get the Silverstars.

i actually emailed the seller on ebay about the catz headlights and he said he'll sell it for $45+$8 shipping+ 7.75% in california..... Its kinda expensive for a pair of halogen isnt it? is it really bright? how is it compared to HIDS? are they like between HIDs and silverstar?

man silverstars are kinda cheap comparing to catz and piaa which im looking for.... i havnt seen any of these bulbs in person, and the pics online cant really be used as comparisons because of different camera, background lighting condition and blah blah blah....

I've had PIAAs as well, they were really nice but expensive. Mine went after like 9-10 months so I replaced em with silverstars.
