Cool

They are proven dimmer than a generic replacement name brand bulb without any filteration on the bulb housing.
The tinting on bulbs like the SS's & PIAA's filter out light. Just like one of the gay blue ricer bulbs. Simply to a much, much lesser extint.



The bulbs are a hint bluer than a normal bulb without a coating. (higher kelvin) hat being said, and descent new bulb is better than any old bulb. Provided you're staying in the same bulb classifications.

same bulb classifications. so r u saying that there is a difference but it is very minimal? cause i didnt want it blue, but at least white (ish) and it seems to till be yellow and this is killing me knowing that i spent 40 bucks for something that made a very minmal difference. andi know to some of u 40 bucks to u is nothin, but to me, 40 bucks is 4 hours of living hell

I paid 60 for them and then I did a retrofit so I barely used them. So like $40 shipped?

Anyone have cloudy projectors and use them? I don't have time to bake mine and clean them but I was looking into silverstars. Any tips? Its pretty bad at night, I drive with my fogs on in order to increase the output of light =/
