Just spend a little bit more and get an HID kit, that's what I did and am very pleased. My buddy has the silverstar bulbs and they are much better than stock, but HID kits have come down in price a lot so I would lean that way more.

silverstars cost too damn much. They also burn out too quick.

my silverstars would burn out ever 6-8 months and for $55 a pair it just wasnt worth it to keep buying them

i purchased a hid kit for only a little more than what a set of silverstars costs. the hid kit was 2-3x brighter than the silverstars ever were

check out www.ddmtuning.com and get a 9006 hid kit.

SilverStart bulbs are overpriced. Although they perform a little better than regular bulbs, certainly not enough of an improvement to warrant the huge price difference.

Here are some alternatives:
(not in any particular order)
Osram Night Breaker
Philips X-treme power +80
Phillips VisionPlus +50
Osram Hyper
Sylvania XtraVision
GE NightHawk
HIR

Of that list, HIR would be the brightest.
Here is some info on HIR:

Correction... I just looked at Sylvania's website. The Silverstar bulbs are not any brighter than their XtraVision which cost a lot less. They have the same lumen output. The only difference is that the SilverStar bulbs have a coating to make the light look whiter.

Other brand, get some HID's. If you REALLY don't want HIDs, then get what VIP suggested. If you would like HID's, PM me and I can tell you where to get them for a good price.
