Sylvania has a very comparable legal halogen bulb out if anyone is wanting
whiter light with out the troubles that come along with a hid kit.

I was thinking about doing that upgrade. Anything has to be better than the standard bulbs, especially in the bumper mounted driving lights. They hardly go past the front bumper.

I was just looking at the silverstar site.
One thing of great concern is the life span !
Not sure what the number they list means??
They show silverstars as 100 vs standard halogen in the 600-800 range.
Does this just mean they last 6-8 times as long or the number of hours they will run??

Kinda sucks to pay twice as much and get a fraction of the life???????

I purchased the PIAAs from Tuan (Forum Vendeor) to replace the driving lights. Big difference, I rarely turn on my headlights now.

Yeah the Piaas are bright. I have a set on my camaro and love them. Im thinking about putting a set on the vette but my headlight might cover them up.
