Silverstars or Silverstar Ultras, which last 30% longer.

avoid luminics at all costs.... I upgraded to them (for free at the time) when I got my clear corners from MT. I can't see crap!

I have the regular Silverstars, and they are quite good!

I bought them used (not sure how long they were previously used for), and I've used them for the past 2 years. No burned out bulbs. I'll get the Silverstar fog light bulbs once one of my factory lights burn out.

Are they the bulbs that sell for ~$35 or so at Autozone?

I was looking at some the other day, though just wasn't sure if they were worth the upgrade? Anyone have pictures of a regular/cheap bulb in one light, while the silverstars in the other?

Do the Silverstars put out a white or a blue tinted light?

The light is "whiter" than a factory headlight bulb. It is absolutely, no way a blue coloured light. The colour is definetly NOT white compared to a HID systems (4300k heat range for example).

Hope that helps. Any questions just PM me, as I am off for the night.

Hella bulbs FTW! Get them at Advance.....expensive but worth it. You'll love them. Everybody driving towards you at night will hate them however.

I don't want to blind the other drivers. I absolutely hate when a car has lights which aren't correctly aimed and seem to "bounce" when the car is moving.

I compared the factory bulbs and the silverstars, side by side. Shined them on the garage wall and the silverstars are way whiter. not much brighter, but a better light for sure. I will buy them from now on.

Do they sell foglights as well? I looked at the Silverstars today and they were $38 for a pair, is that about right?
