as for me: used to have Nokya's in the heads...no good, high wattage, useless spread and color.....the ones i had and really liked were the Polarg VIP's in Plasma Purple.....great output, and functionality AND the looked good from a distance...kinad like 7000K HID's in the fogs i had Hella Yellowstars....as with the Polargs these are also a great bulb.....although i had one blow and havent tried to replace it yet, so as of right now ....Stock H3 I also have a set of hella 500's...those have some 100W street glows....pretty decent bulb...they put out enough light |

Philips all the way, VisionPlus is the preferred brand. They own. If you have 9007 (stock WRX housings), Philips HiVisibility is the choice. (Yes, they're better than SilverStars.)

i use a couple no name brands for my fogs and corners but i spend bank on the heads, sylvania silver stars. they're not blue at all and don't look very bright when u look at them from the side but when they hit things and you see them straight on it hurts. i love them.

Honestly, I don't know why anyone uses the Silverstars. They are like $9 more (each) than the Cool-blues and they look almost the same as the Cool-blue's.

I put in the Philips HiVisibility 9007 bulbs, it's a subtle difference, imo. I only changed out one bulb, and then that night took a bunch of pictures -
You can sort of tell, the Hi-Vis bulb is less yellowish, and casts a cleaner light - the difference under high beams is even more noticable. $15 at Kmart. |

Anyone used the Sylvania XtraVision?? At my local auto zone, the cool blues were $14.99, a whopping $5.00 less than the Silverstars.
