They just say phillips blue vision ultra on the packaging as for the brightness no its not as bright as silverstars, but are just as white in light. They're still very good for what I paid for them.

just get HID's
in the end its more worth it

u'll probably end up spending hundreds on bulbs burnt anyways

that or stick w/ oem bulbs which rarely burn out

imported_loudsubz

or gettled hassled by the cops (or so I hear) from users who fabricate HID into OEM mounts

for the price I dont think HID is worth it, unless your car came stock and the light pattern is very nice.

imported_sketch

you're right Matt, not worth it unless you can get it to work properly in a stock housing without casuing so much glare, and even after, you can get hassled for modifying your stock headlights.

imported_loudsubz

what you could do though is upgrade thje headlight wiring with larger gauge wire if your running stronger bulbts, it can only help

yO

I've driven behind many cops so far and haven't had one problem.. They work perfect in my housing... No glare or anything.. Mine look like the TL's HID...... I'll get better pics soon to show how they really look.

imported_sketch

yeah HID's would be cool .... another thing why I dont' have them is because I just can't get myself to spend the money on them.

I plan on getting HID's for my stock EK headlights, hopefully it turns out nicely.

I haven't had problems so far even when I got pulled over for "failure to signal" which was gay, but whatever, the cop stared at my lights and didn't say anything...

and yes I have retro-fitted HID's, you saw em I dunno if they glare people though?

btw thanks for posting those pics of the showoffs

imported_loudsubz

maybe im just senile because I dont want to lay down the coinage for HID's lol

but i have heard some stores of cops harassing because of HID's, maybe it was a sour cop that day??

imported_Sir_Civik

im on the first set of eurolights i put in my car in march 2000.. I want HID's but I got alternating highbeam flashers and im not sure how hid's would hold up to that.. too expensive to screw up

one of my silverstars burnt out today, dammit!

looking for some other replacements....don't know if i should get those philips ultra blue 4000k ones. anybody know how they compare to sylvania silverstars?

imported_sketch

I picked them up last month, they're nice I noticed no difference between the two.
I have one silver star bulb that is still good, you can have it for $10.

My Silverstars have been going for 1.5 years strong now (estimated)... they are still good, but I'm going 6000K HID now... the kit just came in the mail yesterday. Thanks sanjay!!

imported_8FUN8CVC

if they're the same i think i will give something else a try.
just trying something different.

imported_sketch

yeah but do you do a lot of night driving bruno ?
I know I do and thats still rediculous how these burnt out so fast.
the Phillips are great, two bulbs cost around the same as one silverstar and looks just as nice and in my opinion just as white.

imported_8FUN8CVC

hey sketch did you get yours from powerbulbs? how long for the shipment?

Cynikal.Mindset

arent DTRL and "night time lights" the same bulb? so regardless on daytime or night driving it would be the same??

and peoples lights burn out cuz when they install em the touch the glass and ****...then they complain about how they only lasted however long...and working at an autoparts shop that sold ultra white lights I've seen it happen 9/10 times...I had cheapo ractive lights in my crx for 4 years and no problems...and if u do touch the glass of the bulb clean it off with rubbing alcohol and coton ball...lights should last a good while regardless of brand...its all how u install em!
