For those who were asking earlier...

here are the pair of ultras

Left is the factory and right is the ultra...notice left is yellow

On your right is the factory and left is the ultra...again notice the blue halo on left, and the yellow/green around the right one! also brightness difference

The ultras look nice. How much were they?

Silver Star Ultras are just one step down from HIDs. I added them in place of my OEM headlights. No regrets in doing so on my part. Next upgrade will be HIDs, you can't believe how much you can see at night without that yellow cloud!

They are nice, but cannot be compared to HID's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I had ultras in my tC in high and low beam, switched both to HID and will never go back.

i like the ultra's in my car. however now that the price of HID have gone down since when they first came out. my next set of lights are going to be HID's.

Wow there is a big difference. Thanks for the post. 50 bucks and a good improvement. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

HID's FTW...i will never go anything else

hid's are the best, esp. since a kit is now $72 on ebay. i've installed 3 of thsoe kits and they work great.

if you don't want hid's, look for raybrig bulbs or polarg. they're better than silverstars. i've used every type of bulb available and this is what i've found.

HID + Retro projectors FTW

HID look-a-like bulbs FTL

i got my silverstars for free....planning on putting them in today. i know they aren't HID, but they have to be better than the cheapo Osram bulbs i have in now
