Even PIAAs are known to blow before they are a year old. Its the simple truth about these types of bulbs. Id reccomend a CATZ Zetta system. If you dont know what that is, go put it in google. youll find out pretty quick.

Rep Power: 307 I've got a set of PIAA Platinum Super Whites for parking lights. . .although I'm sure the regular Super Whites would work. (Got a deal on the PSW's instead) Also, I'm using OEM SINGLE filament bulbs for the turn signals. I haven't gotten pulled over for more than three months since doing this as my other bulbs being so white make my turn signals look ALMOST amber, by comparison.
AND. . . I've NEVER gotten flashed for brights. . . just have to make sure your headlights are properly aimed, regardless of which bulbs you use.

Rep Power: 0 I was in Sacramento last night and I noticed soooooooo many cars and trucks have these bulbs. They're pretty bright looking into the headlamp, and they are slightly brighter on the ground. I was next to a 6th gen Accord looking at the difference.
I bought a pair for $14.99 a piece @ Autozone. I'm happy so far with them. As soon as I develop the roll of film I'll be sure to post them up. They really do make a drastic difference when driving. I'm not sure what brand mine are, but I thought I saw APC somewhere on the container....

Rep Power: 0 Sorry guys for being so off, but what size are our bulbs? I saw Sylvania Cool Blues today in size 9003 I think at Wal Mart for like $14.99/set. I think there was one that was 9004 also. I didn't see anything else. Would Cool Blues look half as good as the Silverstars?
well just gotta keep lookin.... Registered!!

Rep Power: 307 Cool blues > stock
SStars >>>> Cool blues
The CB's are a great upgrade from the stock bulbs. . . however, the SS's are much better for just a little more money.
Either would be an excellent upgrade from the stock bulbs, though. . . the stock bulbs kinda suck, actually. No offense to Honda quality, but they should have just gone with brighter/whiter bulbs in the first place.

Rep Power: 0 Ok guys, I you persuaded me into getting them. I stopped by AutoZone after getting my new registration sticker and bought Silverstars for $20each. It took me about 20 min to install and test just now. Easy...
When I turned them on, I noticed that the color was different, more white, not by much though. Maybe I just need to try them at night. Do I have to adjust the aim? It looks like the midpoint was in the same position to me....
The pictures are kinda bad, I took them quickly... Maybe if I was closer to the garage door it would have been better. And if my lens was less dirty.
The first pic, the driver side light is the Silverstar... Can't really tell huh. But the beam on the garage doors clearly distincts the difference.
