Silverstars bulbs vs......
These definitely don't look as much like HID as they were touted. I guess that's what I should expect for $15 a bulb.
These are 4000K 65W bulbs. The PIAA are also 4000K.
Are there any other bulbs that come closer to matching the look of our HID low beam?

I think the SilverStars match the HIDs quite well at night. The SilverStars won't match well when you first turn on the HIDs. After about a minute, they match pretty well. I'm thinking about getting the PIAA Xtreme White after my SilverStars burn out. Anybody used the Xtreme Whites before? How are they?

Colorwise, they do match pretty well from a distance like 10 feet away or so. Up close, the HIDs are clearly whiter than the SilverStars. From a side view, the SilverStars look a bit yellow and the color temp seems to be on the warm side compared to the HID...

I think I'll just keep the Siverstars until they croak for now. Hell, I got the high beams and fogs for a grand total of $60. Hard to complain about that!
Thanks again for your post!
