Like everyone else I have run the Silverstars. They are an improvement, but they cost hella money. I got mine for free, so they were well worth it.

i agree expensive as hell. but an improvement none the less. i went from oem headlights on my TA to silverstars and i could actually see in front of me. put some in the hatch and had an even greater amount of visible area.... think i want a little brighter head lights though, i think im gonna put 9005 high beam bulbs in my lowbeam slot...

if you got old stingy head lights i think a clean and polish on the lenses will help more

LOL not really , coz most the blue tinted bulbs are CDM and they tends to burn off within a week :8
IMO HIDs are good only if you have projectors so the beams can focus. installing HID in a housing designed for regular bulbs AKA stock headlighs will cause all kind of reflections AKA blinging the incoming traffic :7

that is fixed by getting some ricertastical head lights with halo projectors........or simply sanding down the og headlights.........haha

My is300 (non projector) has a sort of headlight leveling device that keeps the HID beam at an optimal level. It is too bad that more cars don't have somthing like ths as a poorly aimed headlight, even the yellow halogen, is a pain in the ass to deal with regarding oncomming traffic.

---- silverstars, for a little more money you can get Cheap HIDs that are way more effective. IMO 4300k is about right, the light is more white than the purple tint that is prefered by the ricer community.
