Don't know if this has been done. I couldn't find it. Would you rather switch your headlights (high and low) with silverstars or your fog lights with piaa. Which will give you better lighting.

Problem with putting in the PIAA's is you realize how poor the headlights are.

Then the next step..HID's!

Thats how it worked for me.

I have both, Silver Stars and PIAA'a. I think the PIAA's are a great start. I'd put my money in them then the SilverStars.

silverstars are just for the look. they are just as bad as the stock lights. Go with the Rev Extreme 6000's HID's for the head lights. they are awesome for the price.
