I have the PIAA star whites in my Odyssey and Accord. I got them for about $35 shipped on eBay, and love them. I had the silverstars before and they burnt out after a year. The star whites are better imo.

I guess you could say I lost some brightness but on the road they are amazing, and they light up street signs and highway signs very well, albeit with a pinkish hue.Being normal is probably the lamest thing you can try to beComment

You can either go with the Silverstar Ultras which you can get from Wal mart for 40 bucks(pair), or use that 40 bucks and get an HID kit. Now, although our headlight assemblies aren't really made for HIDs (they'll fit normal), since the HID bulb is longer and is somewhat outside of the reflector, they can be made to work semi-decent. When I put my 10k's in (very blue, but better output then normal bulbs), people around my area didn't hesitate to high beam me since they were blinding. I adjusted my headlights down just a tad, where more light was on the road, and never got high beamed again.
Want brighter? HIDs are the way to go. Otherwise, you're gonna waste your money. 40 dollars for silverstar ultras that will be a little brighter than regular silverstars.. vs 40 dollars for 35w 4300k HIDs that will be MUCH brighter.. your choice. Installing HIDs is about as difficult as checking your oil level. Cake.Last edited by Gotz Cb7; 02-22-2011, 07:37 PM.98' Mustang 3V Swap

I find Silverstars and Eurolites burn out pretty fast. Never had good luck with either brand. Constantly replacing them.Originally posted by chappie752 View PostComment

I also didn't like those silverstars in snow. My piaa's are a lot better. I've had them for a little over a year. I'd buy them again for sure.Comment

I just got a pair of Philips CrystalVision Ultra. They are much better than the stock bulbs, also at night i notice all the signs reflect better.
The bulb is a very light blue and the tip is blue aswell. Light is pure white though.Comment

every time i see someone on the road like this i want to follow them and punch them in the balls/ovaries (depending on situation) but usually if they are going my way i get in front of them and break check the shit out of them, or ride behind them with my highs on.Originally posted by Kboers View Post
The Ultrastars in the brown package burnt out on me a month AFTER the damn one year warranty expired, go figure lol but did give out a far better pattern and illumination, i don't know about the other brandsComment

I think it has pretty much been determined, but I thought I would also say don't waste your money on the silverstar ultras. $50 and they barely last a year (my dad had them). I had the regular silverstars and they were an improvement over OEM. I now have PIAA 4100K bulbs and they are better than the silverstars IMO ($40 on amazon). I'm curious to know if anyone runs HELLA lights. One of my buddies swears by them. They are also more affordable.

I've had the Hella's on a 2000 accord. They where bright, and I had them for a year before I got rid of the car.Comment

I am planning on running Hella Xenon +50 when I do a conversion for sealed beams to E-Code headlights on my pickup. This chart shows a comparison of bulb type.Originally posted by RUGER 2.2L View Post
If you look at the one I am looking at compared to a standard bulb, the bulb life is reduced from 500 hours to 350 hours, but the lumen output on the low beam side increases from 1,000 lumens to 1,150 lumens. They are a cheap upgrade for the headlight kit, so I am going to try them out.
I had Hella Yellowstar bulbs in my fog lamps, and had no issues with them. I have experience with Hella 500FF driving lights, Hella 500 fog lights and Hella Supertone horns, and I have been very impressed with their overall quality.
Honestly, I would also check into the OSRAM silverstars.Comment
