I run silverstars, but the big difference you will find is if you have newer headlights. As the headlights deteriorate on the outside, so does the the interior reflectivity.

STOCK. After my friend replaced two headlights from too hot of blue bulbs I said no way I'm buying that stuff. I can see just fine at night.

Silverstars. They are noticeably better than the old Halogen bulbs that were in there before.

They don't seem to last that long, though... I put them in around July '05 and a couple months back one bulb went out, now today I noticed that the other one has died. How long are everyone else's silverstars lasting?

Mine didn't last real long either. I think they just produce too much heat. They would probably last longer if there were some sort of vents in the housing to let ambient air circulate, but then again they would get dirty and dusty...
