Sylvania Headlights

Does anyone have a preference between the Sylvania 'Cool Blue' headlights and the 'Silverstar' headlights. Which are better?

SILVERSTARS RULE!!!

I love my silverstars, the are a very white light, almost like those high power ones on luxury cars, and they seem brighter too. and to top it off, my g/f paid for them too.

I have the cool blues, but they didn't make the silverstars in the sealed beam for our cars at the time. DEFINTELY get the silverstars. My friend has some on his car, they aren't sealed beam, but they're bright as hell....

The Pepboy's down here do not sell the Silverstars for our cars. They only have the newer style 9004-9007s and do not have sealed beam silverstars. At least that's the deal with our store. We just finished inventory and I haven't seen any information that we would be getting them.

I used to have the Cool Blues, they were considerably brighter than the factory replacement ones, I now have all 4 SilverStar lamps and they are incredible, i also have an H4 conversion that im going to install eventually but for now the Silverstar Lamps will work more than adequate. I would definitely reccomend them.

I have a set of those, and the pig tail did start to melt, and the light shorted out, so I switched back to the regular bulbs. Damn their a pain in the ***, but they looked awesome!

I've had the silverstars in my Lumina for over a year now. They are a lot brighter than stock. I think i paid like $45 for two replacement bulbs when they first came out.
