Silverstars or Mtecs in the rain

which one is better in rain? OEM bulbs suck so much in the rain at night.

i've read thru countless threads and decided on either silverstars (maybe cool blues? havnt decided yet) and Mtecs. but which one is better in the rain?

neither of those are good for the rain...

either OEM or hyper-yellow are the best (if your not wanting to go HID)

None of the coated bulbs will be as bright as stock. I have some street legal sylvania cool blue and it looks like they're off in the rain. HID coming soon for me.
