Sylvania Silverstar Lightbulbs
I picked up a set at my local Wal-Mart. I love these things, crisp white light and its much better than the cheapos I had in it. I definately recommend these to anyone who doesn't have them. Bulb number is 9007.

Silverstars are very bright, but... don't expect long life. Make sure the bulbs are clean, fingerprints will cause hot spots and shortened life.

i have silverstarts in my turnsignal lights, i like how they have a blue tint but they light up amber so they are legal. i put headlights i got off of ebay for $15 and they are brighter than stock, havent seen how bright silverstar headlights are.

If you get the oil from your finger prints on the bulb the oil will burn and cuase the glass to bubble or become pregnant. Then the bulb will explode.TomZ wrote: Make sure the bulbs are clean, fingerprints will cause hot spots and shortened life.

I used them for over a year but grew out of them and wanted something better. Comparing the eBay HID LOOK lights to stock I guess you could say they're kinda better but don't go to high on the color temp rating or they'll look really stupid and actually hurt light output. Comparing them to REAL HIDs there is no comparrison, by that I mean HIDs are 100x brighter than the eBay bulbs.

Well I got the Silverstar turnsignal lights. I guess if you want them to make your car still leagal, get them. If not they are a huge waste of money cuase my car is still crosseyed and you can still see the orange during the day. I paid a shit load for them at Pep-Boys, I was so happy to finally find a pair I just went and bought them without looking at the price really.

Ive been using Nokya Arctic White bulbs for a while now, the light blue tint matches the light blue tint that the white LED's in my turn signals (superbrightleds.com) give off. it looks really cool with white turn signals.(illegal, yes, but so are the bright red LEDs in my clear side markers.) if the white leds were truly white, i might go with something more like the silverstars.
Well to get more light out of stock bulbs you have to modify the wiring with 2 relays 12gauge wires and fuses with direct connections to the battery and the shorter the wires the better.
You get a lot of voltage drop and that is why your headlights run on 80% efficiency. If you upgrade the wiring you should be at 100% or 55W of power. Now what I am doing in a few days is 100W light bulbs with 10G wiring, relays, fuses and lots of light wiht a clear bulb filled with Xenon gas. One of the gases inside emits a nice rainbow colors purplish, light neon blue color that realy makes them unique. When i am coming down the road you can see them change colors from bright i mean bright white to hue of blue/purple to purple and so on. Real cool. Sad story is i melted some wiring due to low gauge size that is why i am going heavey.
I will submit some pictures.

200W
This is the light bulb that went in the car and melted the connector. THis is also the light bulb that is going in the car when the wiring is all upgraded to handle the 200W of light.
I see a lot of improvement over stock, what do you guys think?
Sylvanias with Stock Wiring no relays
Upgraded wiring with same silvania bulbs
Eurolite light bulbs with upgraded wiring.
By the way the left headlight is aftermarket one, the right one is stock.

Did a short study this past weekend. I went to the WalMart and got 4 different kinds of light bulbs.
I have no pictures but all of the light bulbs were compared to the cool blues.
SYLVANIA XtraVision
SYLVANIA Cool Blue
GE NightHawk
CYBER WHITE (98% Xenon Gas)
I currently have the Cool Blues in the car.
All light bulbs were installed in the right headlight and the car was parked 20feet from the garage door.
All Xtravision and Night hawks were exactly the same with slight diference in the shape of the light. Much brighter than stock but no where near the cool blues.
The slightly blue tinted Cyber White gave much less blue light and compared to stock they suck.
The Cool Blue was the whitest and brightest of all light bulbs compared. Everhything else looked yellowish in front of it with the exception of the CW which were by the way the cheapest of all.
Next up are the silverstars. They will be compared to all of the above and we will see who is the best.
Finaly I plan to use some clear glass 100/80W bulbs to see if there is any improvement of lumens.
