Well currently i'm running the silverstars and have been told its like "the sun" when i'm following someone, but I have been on the highway and have seen bulbs that wern't HID but seemed much brighter and dispersed much nicer onto the roadway.
I'm not sure if it was one of those bulbs that are running like 100 watts or something..
Just curious if anyone might know what i should look for?

you want to stay in the 4500-5500k range. anything higher will hinder visability on halogens.

Not only are they illegal(not DOT approved) but they tend to not last very long.
I have heard the same thing about the silverstars, but from my expericence i have had no problems with them, i guess it is hit or miss.

Hid kits may appear to loght the road better, but they create A LOT of glare toward opposing traffic.

El cheapo bulbs are ricey and pretty low class.Plus they tend to attract police and for the most part are not legal.
I've had silverstars last well over a year without a problem.
, so i dunno.
