And rumor has it that 12,000K HID is black light HID.
With anything over 7000K you'll have light that is equivalent to OEM even though its HID.
HID is for brightness not color. If color is all you want then save your money and get color halogen bulbs.

all I gotta say is gawd dammit, I put em on today.. At first it looked brighter than my hipers. It certainly did give out brighter light output concentrated in two tiny spots. Which my 20 dollar Hipers weren't as bright but the light was spread out a lot more. I'm pissed, how can these even compare to PIAA?
...Oh yea and they're freakin not even white they're like a tan color. for 40 bux I coulda juss got sum fog lights or sum crap. I'll try to get some pics of the before and after.
HIPERS
SILVERSTARS

Secondly Silverstars are not meant for looking cool while NOT seeing jack on the road while Hypersuperkyrtonplutonium bulbs are meant to look like HID while losing light output

Silverstars are BRIGHTER/WHITER than PIAAs!
LOL, I dont know why this is difficult. I had a PIAA Xtreme White bulb on one side, and a Silverstar in the other. I had 4-5 people tell me which looked brighter/whiter, and every single person said the Silverstar.
Cheaper, and better.
