whats the deal, there are two types? I just bought some Sylvania silverstars and in had OSRAM on the packaging?
Quality looks alright, but the free NASCAR toy that came with them cheapened up the whole buying experience.
Have there been any probs running these lights? I've read from some people that they have experienced melting with these bulbs.

I haven't brought myself to getting new light bulbs on the civic just yet.
but on my accord, I had some Nokiya artic whites for lowbeams, and they were
especially for $30 local.
there were these other lights I got for my highbeams at the same time. Can't remember the name brand, but they were somewhere between yellow and gold. and were bright as all hell. $25 for the set. I'll post up the name when I find the box.

My mom's 93 Ford Aerostars, my dad 95 Civic DX and my 96 Accord high beam has Sylvania Silverstars and they are great bulbs. Not only are they brighter but they are street legal, DOT approved and will not melt your wiring because it draws the same wattage as stock. It is brighter due to the gas mixtures inside the bulb.

My shiet is still in the packaging cause winter is coming up meaning heavy fog and some rain in my area... all I hear is that visibility in the rain and fog with White bulbs is crap. Are they really that bad.
GRRRRrr.... its like seeing your presents under the Christmas tree and knowing U can't open them till weeks later. lol
