silverstar/sylvania Performance?, Any different from the hi w. lights Options

[urbandork]

I currently have those bulbs that you get from the asian racing stores. They say that they are brighter but its really because they run more wattage. i think its like 85 for the lows and 100 for the his.

Pepboys is having a sale on the sylvania's from silver star. its like two pair for 24.99. My question is honestly how much of a diffrence is there between the ghetto hi watt. bulbs and the silver stars. Do they look better, because ive heard ppl go on and on about the sylvania blulbs. Whats all the hype about? Any pix?

Ive searched and from what i can tell its sylvaina's or piaa which are pricey. Or am i better off with my hi wattage ones. and yess i know about the harness melting risk.

i tried those cheapo so called " HID bulbs " before.. it melted my harness and i gotta replace it... definitely won't recommend it.. i'm using stock bulbs now... i think i should give those silverstars a try.

yes. that's what happens w/ the higher watt bulbs. it happened on both my celica, and my brother's S10 w/ some headlights we had. pain in the rear. .

also, the sylvania, the only way i thought they were worth anything, was on my AE92 corolla, but that's only because the bulbs are dual filament, so i didn't have to buy umpteen million dollars worth of crap. for the celica, get somethin else..that's my 2cents. "project brius" bulbs are what i have in my lights, and i love them. they are just a nice pure white light. the only place i know of to get them, is through oVerboost.
