ok, i just ordered some new headlights for my 4th gen lude and they dont come with bulbs (they usually dont). but anyway, i was thinking of going with some silverstars unless someone can reccomend a better bulb. any input?

also, the stock bulbs are 9005 and 9006. i found some silverstars on ebay for $4.80 i think the bid is up to so far. but theyre 9005 ST/2. are they the same thing, or are the "ST/2" bulbs different?

Silver Stars FTW!!!!

there are alot of comparison between PIA Vs. Silver Star.

but I like SilverStar whole lot better.

I loved ym silverstars when I used them, then I switched to article purple to make the light purple and couldn't see shit.

Get the silverstars.

they are great, but some seem to complain that they burn out too fast.

and it just seems like silverstars are more sensitive to "finger oil" on the bulb's exterior then others.

just be extremly careful when you are installing it.

about $40 bucks, probably the best bulb with in $100 dollor price line IMO.

there actually are 2 different kinds of bulbs though. some are straight and other are more of a right angle mount.
