Default Silver Star bulb- 9006 XS/ST or 9006 ST for 99 accord?

I was just wondering which Silver Star bulbs to use in my 99 accord. Sylvania has 2 types of 9006 bulbs XS/ST and ST. Anyone know the difference? Thanks

get the ST, I went on the Sylvania home page and the low beam silverstars are 9006ST. I have them on my car for my low beams and I'm pretty happy with them.

where did you see the XS? do you have a link?

there are 2 types of 9006 bulbs... one has a right angle connector, the other has a straight connector. You want the ST which has the right angle connector.

good to know, I wasn't aware they made different 9006 bulbs.
