Yes, really. My light output was very slightly improved and both Silverstar bulbs lasted one year .... how long have you had yours ? I bet it hasnt been a year, lol. Yes, the light was whiter and not yellow at all .... big deal, so what, its whiter. Is that worth it to you ..... cause it wasn't to me.

HIR bulbs are a real MAJOR improvement. Silverstars are not.

I've had them for about 7-8 months. (EDIT: I just check an old thread and I've had them since last Novmeber)

It's a slight improvement in light but I actually do like the WHITER light. For me that was an improvement on how my car looks at night and yes that's worth a whole $36.99. I'm sure HIR, HIDs are the way to go but i'm curious about something. If HIRs are such a big improvement (as you say), how come there are no threads with pics? I'd love to see a HIR vs HID vs Halogen comparison. BTW, do you have them? If so, lets see them.

no halogen bulb is going to compare to HID

but the fact is our stock headlights are made and designed for halogen bulbs

you can search the forums and see me and stu had a discussion about these bulbs

you can even ask stevieray on his opinion...

the reason why 9006>9005 conversions dont last long... is because the lifespan of 9005 is significantly shorter than of a low beam 9006 bulb

period.

My 9006 (i think it is 56W) from Euro Dezign had been on the car more than 1.5 years now it look prety good at night lol. And i had 100w from Street glow for the high beam and i had been rarely use them. They really got the conversion look lol. the high beam is white as my dad TL HID.
here check it out at night.

Okay, I'm home now and searched the forums for HIRs. It appears (need to search more) that you and Stevie are the only ones who have done this.

I haven't seen pics from either one of you but you say it looks better than stock .

I went into the link (http://www.finemotoring.com/demo.htm) that show some pics and to be quite honest, I'm not impressed. I mean it does look better than stock bulbs but not greatly improved. I guess if they last longer than halogens then the $60+ dollars is not a bad investment.
