wow thanks for all the info eliteaccord, four posts just to respond to one question :thumbup: as for my preferences, i really dont care for the color of the light, what matters most to me is the brightness of the light during normal conditions and during bad weather. i want a good bulb which can light the road better during a clear day, and during a rainy or snowy day. if silverstars are just gonna be worse during bad weather just like the cool blues then i guess i can save myself a few bucks. as for me i am using the sylvania Xtravision bulbs right now. are the philips vision plus bulbs better than these or just the same?
