Silverstars better than stock.....BUT IMO you would be better off getting the HIDs from one of our forum vendors......easy install and the Silverstars are gonna run ya $50 anyway....the HIDs are 3 to 4 times more but they are sooooooo much better

Toshiba HIR 9011 bulbs in both Low and High beam sockets. Cheaper then HIDs and a better improvement over Silverstars.
