Holy crap! Mine are 55w. I think stock and SilverStars are 51w. That's why i asked the guy if they would take care of my burnt harness if it ever happens. Hopefully not.. Where are located Chris?

Stock and Silverstar H4/9003 are 55W. IF you have 90W H4's you got tthe wrong wattage. Actually mine are 55W but put out 70W or so the box says. It also says Stage 1. But these are Nokya's.

I could've sworn I saw 51w on the bulbs themselves (stock and SilverStars)? Hmm.. But thanks for the info.

Mine say right on the bulb base (stamped into the metal) 90w. These are HALO H4 Yellow bulbs.

I am from Jersey btw.

i have both 9006 and 9005s for low and high beams, both are piaa xtreme whites. i've had them both in for almost 2 years.

honestly, i'd trust piaa over any other aftermarket bulb, the only problem is they're usually pretty expensive...

I prefer the silverstars over the halos. Although the halo's light is whiter, silverstars is brighter.
