Silverstar Utras an upgrade?
Just bought '03 GS300..was wondering if the new Silverstar Ultra bulbs would be a worthwhile upgrade on my car vs. OEM bulbs? I use Silverstars on my SUV's and they help but I didn't know how good OEM bulbs are. THanks.

When I bought my 2nd gen gs I put in the ultras to get me by until I finished my retrofit they are much whiter than stock and in my opinion are pretty good as far as ouput, once I did my ls430 retro I put the ultras in my foglights and they match very well

You do know that silverstars...or any bulb with a tinted coating on it will REDUCE light output. But before spending 50 bucks on silverstars, check out the 'cool blue' line which are cheaper and still look the same. 9005 Mod it! (that is when you take a 9005 bulb, which has a slightly higher voltage, but is still 100% safe for your wiring harness and clip off some tabs so that it fits in the 9006 housing, so its essentially the same as having your highbeams on.
