well seeing my sample picture...u can see that the silverstar ultras are definitely brigher (20-30%) and whiter light than OEM. Mind you, my OEM are now past 4.5 years old so probably dimming a bit.
The silverstar ultras cost 59.99 for a pair. This is a quite costly for lights but i thought i'd give this a try to see how they are and so far i do like the brigher whiter light. I just have to see how long they last me cuz i've heard reviews where ppl say they blew out in 4-6 months or some 9-12months ....but i'm assuming when they installed it they must've touched the glass bulb (which will burn out the bulb prematurely).
Basically it was a pain in the butt to install at first cuz i never saw the housing unit before. After u remove the rubber seal you need a flashlight and a mirror to get a good look at the "wire clip" that keeps the bulb secure.
Once you see it, you will know how to unclip it (just push in, then right, and then the wire clip comes out and you have to move the wires out of the way).
Reinstalling the bulb is like surgery. You have to take every precaution necessary not to touch the glass bulb. I put on latex gloves but when reinserting it, you have little space to work with so you have to try your best to slide it back in without hitting the sides everywhere.
Make sure the wire clip is in the down position....then once the bulb is back in the housing unit you lift the wire clip back up and clip it back in.
