Kuya, you want something in the 4,000k to 5,00k range in color temp (I believe 4,500k is the same color as daylight)*

*note, color has nothing to do with brightness. I have 7,500k right now and they are WAY brighter than stock, but a lil too blue for me (Ice Blue on the color changing h/u)

Pay $40 bucks for some Silverstar Ultras. Thats what i have right now. They are rated at ~4000k. Compared to stock bulbs, make a big difference!

the 9005 silverstar mod in low beams has a really nice output. Way better than stocks and it does have a hint of white. Id take performance over style any day.

If your going to get silverstars pay 5 bucks more and get the ultras. They are a more noticeable white. And they are a good buy since HID kits are illegal and annoying on the road.

Yeah I live in the town that they make Sylvania Headlight bulbs. Everybody in town has these cause practically the whole town works there or knows someone who does. I even have them, they kick ___ and are worth the money...even though I get mine free. lol

I used to run Silverstars...I don't think they're worth the money as they die much too quickly. Cool Blues are $20 and last longer. In the end, you should just get HIDs...they'll save you money in the long run. They're also my second favorite mod...right behind my short shifter
