Yo, i have been hearing all this sh*t about silverstars and how bright they are, but i bought some from wal-mart a week ago, and they were not bright at all. they actually sucked. Saw more light through the stock bulbs my black headlights came with. but maybe it's my aiming? i dont know..

beware emperor. they [the black headlights] do lessen your light output just a little. especially in your perifials [spell check]. as long as your aiming is good i think u'll be straight..i mean i can still see, but it's just not as bright as i'd like..i'm thinking of getting some of these>> http://www.luminicsbulbs.com/

i put them in my girlfriends altima and they look 90% like stock.....which sucks. They are a little better then stock...but when looking at the package it looks like you're upgrading to HID's or something.

they are a good headlight...but the advirtising they use and the claims they make do not own up to what you actually get...

You also have to look at quality and cost. Real HID's cost a lot, but they last forever, use less power than halogens, and are way brighter and cooler looking. The color of the light emitted by HID also reflects off of objects better and makes for better visibility at night. Any replacement halogen or plasma bulbs usually last like 6 months at the most. And with as much as it will cost you to keep replacing bulbs, you could actually pay for a set of HID's in a year or so and have them last for the life of the car. The cost of HID's has gone down dramatically over the past year or so. Silverstars and other "HID look" bulbs may look ok, but in the long run real HID is much nicer and more economical.
