Default Best non-hid bulbs?

Are silverstars king ding-a-ling of non-hid bulbs? Anything else out there better? I do want the white/blue color versus standard bulbs.

Thankz guiz...

I loved my silverstars before i got my HIDs.

I mean they are only 40 bucks and walmart takes anything back if anything happens to them.

^see, this is the type of stuff I like... "Spend $10 and these are brighter."

In my experience Silverstars are better than Silverstar ultras. The ultras are indeed brighter, but in my experience (2 sets of ultras and 3 or more of the regular silverstars) the ultras only last about 1/2 as long before burning out.


Another good option is PIAA. They make hyper white bulbs that are almost as good as the ultras, but thy ar pricey and harer to find.

Oh shit. I forgot I had PIAAs in my Durango, haha. I honestly couldn't tell a difference between those and Silverstars. You're only gonna get so much out of a non-HID buld anyways, so I wouldn't spend the extra money.
