Aside from being bluer, they aren't that great. They burn out faster too, BTW. YEs they will prolly run hotter.

Stock is 55w too.

That's mandated by federal law. Higher wattage is not DOT approved.

Good to know about those PIAA bulbs, I was thinking about getting some to replace my current Silverstars. The Silverstars are fine and I did notice a difference from stock but the Xtreme White is supposed to be more white. I have the Super White wedge bulbs in the parking lamps and side by side even they are more white than the Silverstars.
