Rep Power: 0 Silver Stars suck ***!!!!!
I just picked up the Sylvania Silverstars today. The suck so bad. I'm definately going back to my Cuzos. I'd even take the stock bulbs over these. Biggest waste of $40 ever!!!!!!!!!

Rep Power: 788 Thanks for the info! I was waiting for my cool blue bulbs to burn out so I could buy some silverstars. Now I'm not so sure. Is there a website to get the Cuzo bulbs from? Info? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 I have Cuzos and I don't think they look all that great. They look more blue than like HID. When it comes to bulb life, i've had them for a year now and have had no problems....besides blinding people [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 I heard that the silver stars were supposed to be whiter and brighter than the cool blues. I have cool blues and they are definately not yellow. Yea, maybe a tad yellow but no where near stock.
If you want blue headlights then get another brand or something. And no, I have never seen a blue-lighted civic that would fool anyone into believing that they were hids.

You said the reason you dont like them is because they dont look anything like HID,which is cool. Did they not light up the road very well? Even though they dont look so good, I would imagine yellowish lights would illuminate better, kinda like flood lights.

Rep Power: 788 Cool Blue bulbs are street legal and barely meet photometric requirements. They are bad for driving in rain but look great on dry road at night. They "look" brighter than stock, but at night your eyes just don't see as well with white light as they do with yellow stock light.
The cool blues give out a normal white light (3800K) over the yellow stock light (3200K). There is no blue at all. I like them because they're legal and white. If you're looking for that blue or purple tint like HID, these are not for you. I think they are a good compromise between stock and those other bulbs like PIAA that aren't as bright. So far I've had the cool blues for about a year, and they have even made it through headlight clearing (oven and dropping/shaking).
