Default 4th Gen Camaro headlight bulb options..?

Cant afford HIDs right now. Anyone used Sylvania Superstar Ultras or Sylvania ZXEs? Just looking for best driving light, not trying to look cool. Suggestions, input, opinions? What about PIAAs Extreme White or whatever they are? Best bang for the buck..?

All those bulbs you listed use a blue coating on the bulb which limits the light output. It only makes the light whiter. If you are looking for the next best alternative then look into getting HIR's or a set of philips x-treme bulbs. GE nighthawks are also a good option.

Ebay is the way to go. Might as well get some HIDS from ebay at the same price as Sylvania.

Like most people, I seldom flash cars that have those HID kits because it doesn't do any good. The kind of person who would install them isn't going to care that he's annoying everyone else on the road just as long as he can have his glaring bright lights - so I simply mutter "*******" under my breath and move on.
