You should take a pic with one of the old bulbs in to compare.

I installed those after I cleaned up my lenses and people flash their brights at me all the time.  I thought maybe I had them aimed high, but they're within spec.  It's amazing how bright these things are.

Tell me how bright those silverstars look after one year. Just kidding, I already know...they are absolute junk.

Take it from me and anyone else who bought blue tinted bulbs without learning more: return them and get Sylvania XtraVisions.

The original silverstars are 55w low beam, right? As far as I know, thats the correct, so you get ~23% more light output. High beam is still 65w.

That picture reeks of glare though, not actual useful light output on the ground.
