Well, I for one, was shocked to find that my $50 Sylvania Silverstars didn't live up to their expectations. I have modified headlights, but they don't leak. I installed the bulbs myself, using the most care as to not touch the glass or have the bulb tap the surrounding area. All of a sudden, I find myself driving down the road and noticing that my headlights aren't as bright as I remember them being. I pull into my local hangout and they all start yelling, "Your headlight is out!". I was embarassed, and dumbfounded. Supposedly the longest lasting bulbs on the market, not as cool looking as others, but built of good quality, and the left bulb dies on me. Now keep in mind, this could just be one factory defected bulb or due to user error. Don't start thinking that all Silverstars are bad. I'm just expressing my disappointment in the bulbs. MTEC 4X, here I come.

I have a friend who recently purchased a set of MTEC 4X bulbs, and they spit out more light on the ground than my Silverstars. I'm sold on these. I do realize they run at a higher wattage, but I trust my car not to have problems with them.

Whether you trust your car or not, the factory wiring isn't designed for bulbs with a wattage higher than 55. I would stick with the stock wattage unless you want to fry the electrical system.

I have 100 watt bulbs and it works fine. Never had a problem. The only problem is my friends saying there to bright but oh well. I never heard of that happening and if it does i'll just take it back to honda.

I've had my SilverStars with a heavy duty headlight wire harness for about 7 months until one of the bulbs died on me. I guess HID's are the way to go..

I had some PIAA Extremes for awhile, but I lost 1 in about a month or so time. So I'm burning stockies for now. . I'm not poor, but geez, I can't do $60 every month because I loose a PIAA. . No thank you. I'll get some new bulbs eventually, or just get the HID conversion .

PIAA=short bulb life. Get something from a name brand like sylvania or philips.

PIAA is brand name If they aren't a brand name, no one will buy their over priced tinted light bulbs
