I've tried every light bulb manufacturer under the sun, and I'll recommend Sylvania Silverstars. IMO, all coated bulbs (color) will burn out prematurely, it's just a matter of paying $80 for PIAA's (which I have) or pay $25 for Sylvania's.

there really isnt one..


PIAA is best if you think priciest is best.. or some form of HID

Sylvania is good for bang for your buck best

APC is best if you like multi-color rice?

thanks, another question, what's the difference between an h3b and an h3 bulb? same goes with an h4b to an h4 bulb? or are they just the same. and what's the difference between an h3 to an h4 bulb? does the number represents the bulb's power? i.e. h7 are brighter than h4.

It's not really to gauge brightness, it's to tell you what the bulb structure is like. the H4 bulbs are larger and have a different connection than the H3s. An H3 will not fit in an H4 slot and an H4h will not fit into an H4 slot without modification. Stick with the bulb designation that you currently have.

Silverstars are the best hands down. I have them on my car and they last long and are the brightest b4 hids. Plus for $25 each you can not go wrong. There are others that are a BIT better but for the price tag there just not worht it. Remember when you install your bulbs DO NOT TOUCH then with your bare hands. They will blow sooner then expected.
