lazy ehh.....
do you even know what the Kelvin rating stands for?
do you know that the higher the kelvin, the LESS actual light output?
do you know that 7000k isnt even brighter than your stock halogens?
do you know that theres a reason ALL FACTORY HID systems are 4300k and regular halogens come 3700-4000k?
well?
do you?

Daytime pic, sorry for double posting, still learning how to get 2+ pics on same post. Notice the blue or lack of. Will get some shots from straight on. There is a small amount of blue in the light in the day, but not like some which seem to take over the entire headlight.

I tried everything in my GX, the silverstars are not bad, but the absolute whitest I found that actually are as white as they say are these

I am running them in fogs and highs with 4300k xenon mains and they looks as white as the actual xenon's.

Hey i have silverstars in my 98LS and they dont look that white from close up but from far away at nite they look really white, i still want bulbs that have a tint of blue to them to give me a cooler look, check out a pic of mine before and after silverstars.
