Well, my dad bought me some silverstar headlight bulbs for Christmas and I must say that the difference is amazing.
here is the stock ones. 
and Silverstar: 
AMAZING, but I was next to an Acura with HID's the other night, and HID's still blow these out of the water. |

They burn out fairly quickly on me, worth the bucks if you like them, I suggest ebaying an extra set so you don't have to pay retail @ an auto parts place. Sweet though.

I don't see a sock!
I had Silverstars for a while, never had any issues. They were nice up until HIDs. |

silverstars go out from vibration. So depending on your vehicles headlight design and how secure it is, that is likely the cause for the short life span. |

Except for the fact that the car is at different spots and the fence is wet in the first pic. |

except your iso changed and looks like your white balance was not set, so it was likely on auto, which can really mess up comparison pictures. |

that will tend to make comparison changes difficult.

Well, I am thoroughly pleased with them. I was considering getting some fogs for it to add some extra light before I had the silverstars, but now, I really don't want fogs. I did find some nice ones that fit into OEM location with an OEM style switch for under $100 (including relay and everything) Now I don't want fogs.
