Which, unfortunately, only half explains those piss-yellow fogs people leave on all the time.
Just wondering, did someone piss in your cheerios this morning? U just seem to be in a negative mood in all the threads you've posted in. Just wondering?

True, but (IMHO) it's not that much of a benefit. At least around here, the weather is dry enough to justify using whiter lights to improve day-to-day driving. During good weather, the light output with silverstars is by far better, during wet weather... well, it's just barely worse.

Hell, the light output, esp. when wet, of all the Hondas I have ever owned wasn't that hot anyway. The best was my '86 Accord, maybe I'm partial to sealed beam pop-ups. :dunno:

i love my silverstars...only thing I need to do is re-aim my headlights since they're aimed a little too far down.

Silverstars gets a :thumbup: in my book. Had my set for over a year and they're still going strong.

silverstars are good but hid's are better. only draw for hid's is that there is no hi beams or low beams, just there. there are ways to get around this though.

HIDs also produce a LOT of glare in stock housings. I wouldn't recommend HID retrofit kits to replace your regular bulbs in your stock housings.
