No, They look EXACTLY THE SAME...
In fact I compared the two(stock and new) and they are the same part number and everything... looks like Honda used Syl. ST's in the 04 VP...

you work at radioshack before? reading your sig i would assume so. i used to work there. i didnt mind selling enough to make $20/hr on average over 8 months but they are a rip off for some stuff.

****, I made $9/hr managing a Franchise RadioShack. The owner never paid me for anything over 40 hours and I can probably count on both hands how many Lunch breaks I got in the year that I worked for the guy...

Yeah the Low-beam(9006) have a big improvement. I've been using the Sylverstars in their since I bought the car. I'm just very disappointed in the High-beams...

Oh and I have reported him to RadioShack HR. I personally spoke with his DM and of course the **** told me that since it's a franchise store RS is not responsible(BULLSHIT), and that I should file a claim with the Va department of labor... Oh, and did I mention that the guy never tracks anyone's time in the computers and he sells Microsoft software illegally, I've already reported him to Microsoft on that one...

all halogen bulbs will be roughly the same brightness, there won't be any noticeable differences. although the colour temp might make you think that your bulbs are brighter.

yes that is somewhat true but the wavelength of the color is what travels and that is why the yellow lights travel the furthest

well, I personally like my HIDs, and theres hardly any glare. I mean, there is SOME because I havent retroed them yet, but its not bad at all. And yes, I have 9006. I personally like the McCulloch kit.
