I have the silverstars in my wagon with the stock light fixtures. they are brighter than stock and aren't that blue light junk that looks snazzy but is really dim on the road. they are just a tad brighter than stock, and are a good replacement when one of your bulbs burns out, but i would not recommend them if you don't need to replace the old ones. i bought them at kragen auto parts for about twenty bucks, i think it is the 9007 model #.

I just put in the Phillips Hi-Visibility bulbs and they are definetly brighter than stock. There was a post on one of the other boards that said that they light up the road better than the Silverstars. Plus, they are less than half the price. I got mine at K-mart for $16.88 a pair (somebody posted a website where they were selling for $16 each). Either way, they are easy to replace. Just check your owner's manual. The hard part is unpluging the wire. Then you turn the housing and remove the housing and bulb. Fairly simple and can be done in 10 minutes as long as you have small hands.

I don't have the Silverstars but looking at the light, they are whiter than the foglights (the stock ones have a yellowish tinge compared to the fogs). Anyway, they seem to work nicely. Now I need to find different bulbs for my clear sidemarkers. They look really yellow compared to my headlights now.

You really don't want silverstars in your fogs, if you actually use them in fog that is:

I'm always a little baffled as to why people think that the whiter colour the light the better you can see at night. There is no real proof that this is the case. If someone has some real data showing this I'd love to see it. I've been searching but haven't come up with anything.
