are all you guys who are running the Silverstars have them on your Cedia Black headlights? Cuz the Silverstars work wonders on the stock chrome headlights cuz everything inside there is reflective. I was just curious how it would look with the JDM headlights.

Yeah those bulbs consume 100/80W, you'd be risking damaging the bulb, harness or more. Stick with the recommended stock wattage, there's a reason they don't just say "put in whatever random crap you find". I'm sure someone will buy these bulbs, they do say they are JDM, everyone knows that the japanese can put gas, plastic and metal together better than us

i have sylvania silverstar on the driver side and nokya purple on the passenger side. i used to have nokya on both but the left side blew/burned out so i have to go with sylverstars. it is way better than my nokya purple and brighter imo
Silverstars...all the way. Just had an accident where the entire drivers-side headlight is a total loss. All...but for one thing. The Silverstar withstood the 70 mph concrete impact and both filaments are still together. Sylanvia 4 life. Plus, their Customer Service was top notch.
