I have street glow bulbs...they are pretty bright, but right now they are aimed like crap, so they pretty much suck to me right now :lol: once I get new black bezel lights, Im going to stick w/ the street glows until I can afford HID

Hey, I was looking to get some new bulbs (got some cheapies at BestBuy and one is burned out). I've had silverstars in the past and I wasn't impressed with them. They weren't brighter on the roads, just brighter to oncoming traffic. IMO, the brightest bulbs I've had were stockers. So compared to Silverstars and stockers, what would you say the Nighthawks are?

I wouldnt say the GE's are a whole lot brighter, i dont think you can really get one much brighter if its the same amount of watts. The major thing i noticed is that the GE's dont have more intensity, but the light that they do put out is more "white" i guess you could say. At night, everything reflects back at you alot better, which makes it easier for me to see. When i first switched and i looked at the difference against a wall i wasnt impressed, but after i drove somewhere without lots of city lights i definitely noticed i could see alot clearer and farther. And these suckers are good in the rain and heavy fog, something i could not say about the silverstars.
