I got them on my ride w/ the JDM Cedia headlights. I got them for like 20 bux from ebay, sealed....weird thing is, when I put them on my ride, the right side looks white w/ slight blue but the other side looks more stock yellow...I dunno if it's a crappy set or what.

maybe the aim of the bulb on that side of the car is lower/higher than the other one? thats happened to me before..

I got a set of Eurodezigns xenon bulbs that come with a lifetime warranty, and were under $25 shipped. The really cool thing is the're made in the United States, and a police force were the original testers of the bulbs.

I think they may be on EBAY still also.

dont buy silverstars, im on my second set, and EVERYONE i know that has/had them said they burn out after about 6 months, i can PERSONALLY vouch for that. im going to get either hid's next or atleast catz bulbs.

silverstars blow, yea they are brighter than stock, but for the same price either buy mtec's or catz bulbs, unless u wanna be buyin new ones every 6 months - 1 year.

****, six months? I got about 2 outta mine, so I went and just got a new set on the stores warranty policy, but I've done that 4 times now. Last time one went out, there wasn't a store around that carried them, so I got a cheapo 6.99 halogen H1 instead (i've got the cedia housings), it's just as bright, just a little more yellow tinted is all. no more silverstars for me

Ok, here's the deal w/ silverstars. Don't expect HID quality out of these... it's not meant to be compareable. It's just meant to be WHITE and BRIGHTER than stock. It's just so. I've had them but the only thing I hated about them is that it burned out quickly. If you really want to see that silverstars make a difference do what i did. I would go by the stoplight next to my apartment... and at a stop there would be a reflective speed limit sign about several blocks down... my silverstars would reach the sign and reflect off of it, where my stock bulbs wouldn't. Try it.

I'm thinking of going http://www.luminicsbulbs.com/ and getting some 'pure blue". ive been in some talk, and i have another post somewhere about Cedias recently, that i put pics of them up there, but umm, other than that, PIAA's are the best bulbs to get. they REALLLY are bright...
