are they really worth the money? i only have halogens on my car and i want a white light not a blue one especially when the bulb is coated with blue, it reflects all over the housing and looks cheap IMO..

was '03 E320 - now - '04 S4
I installed some on the wife's Lexus last year and they are a huge improvement over the old headlights. Not really "HID blue" but a nice white light.
We're happy with them.

Had 'em in my '02 Caddy DHS. Noticeably whiter & brighter at night. NOT BLUE fake look. NO yellow in the light at all. Worth the money, NOT a substitute or look-a-like for Bi Xenons.

Just installed them..gotta say I'm dissapointed. no real difference over stock..maybe its got something to do with the projector style housing that the bulb is installed in , not only that, the Sylvania website was wrong about fitments so I ended up with some wrong bulbs...maybe I should of gone with the PIAA's.

I've tried both PIAA and Silverstar, no big difference between the two. Since then I've gone to a cheaper but better alternative, Vizu bulbs from umnitza.com. They're only $25 and has a 1 yr warranty, IMO output is closer to HID compared to the other two. Output is whiter and doesnt appear to be blue. I'll try to take pics and post side by side comparison between the vizu and HID output to compare the color.
