okay, so i'm considering to buy some light bulbs for my car. i've heard of silverstars but i think they are just over-rated. i'm more into the blue tint look for my car. so can you guys recommend me to any brand out there?
i have PIAA xtreme white in now. after xmas when i get my projectors the will appear more blue. PIAA however does make a blue tinted series of bulbs if im not mistaken.
Silverstars, just get them you won't be sorry. If you want the blue tint then get the Cool Blue but many people believe it's too ricer. To each thier own.

-10-20X the life
-3X the light output
-Less power consumption
-Better light color, resulting in decreased eye fatigue
-Less heat
-Obvious visual appeal
The only issue is that you really need a projector setup (which CAN be costly) if you're going to properly convert to HIDs. Have no fear, though, we can get you anything in the way of HID lighting needs
If you want a blue tint...then look at spending money in HID's. Very shortly I'll be upgrading my ZKW's to HID output, 5000k in the headlights, and 7500k in the fog lights. Different K ratings give you different colors.

Deloriant I didn't know you had zkw's. I may be getting some as well but I may just go for the straight zkws with hid. let me know if the hids make a big difference. yes, i've seen the pictures but I want your opinion. That is if you get them before me.
