here are some pics... the driver side is stock and the passenger side has the silverstar.... for $44 bucks not bad... anyone else have these? i heard they are one of the best bulbs out?

These bulbs I've ordered are suppose to have the color of WHITE without that blue tinting added to the glass. It's the same bulb/gas, minus the bulb coating.
They are the europe version of the SilverStars
OSRAM - Silverstar +50% ECE
And they were 12 a pop!
OSRAM - SilverStar for 12 a piece

i dunno about the OSRAM - Silverstar +50% ECE. but when mine is lit, its more of a white with a very slight yellow tint. imo it looks clean, rather than being white with blue that looks fake and cheap.
i don't see how they can pull off a clear bulb to have a nice white light. my friend has these piaa ones that were close to $100 and they lit up white really good. but it has a VERY slight blue/gray coat on the bulb.

looks good - I wonder how'd they look for Canadian cars with DRL's (which use the high beams at a lower power)

I bought some of those for the low beams on my '95 GS-R. After driving our S2k and TSX with HIDs, driving the GS-R in the dark felt like I was driving by candlelight.
They're not too bad, a definite improvement in that car. Not like HIDs but what do you expect for $50, I guess. They're not the cheesy super rice blue bulbs that seem to be installed in every other Honda and redneck pickup truck I see. They're stealthy, just brighter.

Ok my review since i just put them in.
Overall I am pleased, they are whiter and appear to put out more light than the stocks. I took it out on a night twisty drive to see how much of a difference it was. To me it makes a real safety difference since the brighter and whiter light seems to light up the road better. I bought them for improved light output and they appear to do the job quite well.
Now I'm not 100% pleased with them because after having HIDs for low beams I don't feel that they are wide enough beams to light up the side of the road fully. This is a problem on some twistys since I tend to look where I want to go not just ahead and it doesn't seem that the sides are bright enough. I think I'd probably only be happy with lights that turn with steering input(tucker anyone?) or HID hi-beams
Overall for $40 I'm very pleased with the outcome. If you never use your hi-beams these aren't for you but if you do they are a nice upgrade.

Where is a good place to get these bulbs? I am thinking about getting them for my wife's Toyota Highlander. After driving my S, I can't see anything with her low beams. I believed it's the 9006 size for both the low beams and the fog lights. Do they sell them in local stores or only online? Thanks guys.
