Pictures of the Silverstar bulbs in action.

Not the best pics in the world, but at least its something for now.
These bulbs cost 20$ a piece but they also sell twin packs for 38$.
This bulbs work pretty good, it gives that real HID look with my
projector headlights. But here are some pics.

not bluish at all... not like those fake xenons its white... the reflection of the projector gives it those weird shades of color.. i'll retake the pic with a different cam with a position that the light is pointed to.

I use PIAA bulbs. THey are about $75 a pair and much brighter than stock. They are more white with a slight touch of blueness. These are the superwhites I think.

I haven't tried the silverstars. From what I heard, they are alright bnut not as bright.

Thumbs down H7 Sylvania Silverstars

I got a Sylvania Silverstar H7 on the left and OEM on the right. There is no marked difference. Unlike the other Silverstars, H7s are yellowish.

Don't waste your time.
