I have always preffered the light I get from Silverstars over stockers... they are kinda like the GE "reveal" lightbulbs for in the house...seem to be more white in colour overall than the stock ones. Also, when I switched from the NA to the E-spec ST170's, there was an obvious difference in the amount of light, especially on the lowbeams. Maybe between bulbs of the same size/type/wattage there is no benifit to change them, but when you switch from a 9003 to H7 and H1 bulbs, there IS a difference. Besides, I think it looks wimpy when I see a plain jane sedan SE spi focus with hubcaps and the stock lightbulbs...they DO look amber and old fashioned.

It's funny though, with the ST170's I have a lot of people flash their brights at me all the time...they think mine are on until I slam the H1's on...and yes before you say anything about this, I had the headlights aimed on a headlamp aimer at a blue oval certified lincoln dealership. I think the cutoff angles are a lot different on the euro lights...could it be that they are more concerned with NOT outrunning their headlights than whatever is on the road directly in front of the car? I preffer having light further out from the car so that I don't outrun them in the boonies that is highway 60, when not going at a legal speed limit...lol
