Rep Power: 0 If you really want to have a great change, go HID. most cars nowadays (including civics) already come with sylvannia bulbs... I'd say save your $50 and buy an HID set...

Rep Power: 257 My buddy has raybrigg halogen bulbs and they're way brighter than my OEM. I was probably going to get those or PIAA whenever my stockers blow. I don't want to have to worry about glare with an HID kit.

Rep Power: 280 silverstars are not rice, so dont worry about it. They are right as crap, and yea at a automotive store they run ya around 40 dollars. Also (maybe its just my friends civic) they do burn out rather quickly.

Rep Power: 0 yeah my silverstars burnt out within a couple months of purchasing them, and then i made another mistake and bought the "new and improved" silverstar ultra's. i left one regular silverstar and one ultra and they look exactly the same, only difference is the $10 increase for the ultras. save your money and get this instead.

Rep Power: 279 I wonder if the year of the car makes a difference... I have an 01 and I have had mine for well over a year. I wonder if people with the shorter life have a newer model where the high and low beam are separate and because the housing is in a smaller confined area the bulb heats up easier and burns out. Just a thought I could be totally wrong, but my buddy has a corolla and his are set up the same way and he is always blowing bulbs.
