    They're made by the same company but they're far from being the same.

    The Ultra is Improved way more over the Regular silverstar.

    Get the Osrams, the Sylvanias are garbage. I know they are made by the same company.

    I have heared the same. It's kind of strange that one should suck over the other when they are made by the same guys.
    I don't know about the osrams but my Silvania Ultra are not that great.

    There isn't much more out there if you're not satisfied with Ultra's, they provide more light, most others with a few exceptions are for looks.

    Go HID, don't waste money on PIAA's, they cost almost as much.

    I've got 2 sets of the Hoen H7s for sale if you want to give them a try.

    Thanks. Like the look of the Hoen, but the performance is not as good as the Philips x-treme.

    Waiting for your citylights....... Keep it up
