Well they're definitely not going to be "blue." If anything it's a white light. I'm running them ATM as well. I'm very happy with them, but if you were expecting some sort of "HID" color, these are not really for you. They're really just supposed to be a brighter/whiter light than OEM.

Plus, night pics of headlights are kind of difficult to really do and usually you won't be able to see exactly the same thing one your own anyways b/c cameras play light tricks on you.

yea silverstars only offer a brighter, whiter light then the yellow bulbs that come stock in the car. Silverstars are your only legal alternative to the stock light output because they are not bright enough to blind traffic in a halogen housing. If you want to go with an HID kit, head over to the sponsored sales forum, but they are illegal.

Yes.... It works on our cars also... NO Problem.. as long as they are 9005 / 65w...
I done it on my heads and fogs.

after you install it, and
find too many ppl flashing you,( too bright ) all you have to do is adjust your headlight down abit.

Good luck,
Keith.

first I went for the after market head lights. Then I did the mod for the 9005 to 9006. Finally I just broke down and bought some HIDs. I made the right choice with the HID's. As cheap as HIDs are now and days, just buy some HIDs. I bought mines from Operatic and they work awsome.
