If you want the safest, brightest light, you should do a retrofit to some HID projectors! Otherwise yeah, they will probably be brighter than your old worn OEM ones, although their slightly yellower light is more visible to the human eye than the whiter light of the Sylvanias. I did a lot of research on headlights

Watch out if those bulbs are higher wattage than stock, you may end up melting connectors....




I've been seriously considering a set of HIR lights

Though, technically illegal. Installing HIDs in a car not originally equipped with HID lights is still illegal, even if you do it right. Whether or not you do it the right way will determine how much unwanted attention you'll get.
