i'm tired of buying $70 PIAAs for them to pop 4-5 months later. i've read that they are the brightest lumens wise of all H7 lamps out. last longer too.

I have them for high beams only and do not use them often.

Last year I replaced the bulbs on our X5 with some real silverstars, the ones that have the super high output. We have a non-xenon X5 obviously. Anyways... they are AMAZING. Not quite HID output, but some may get fooled. They are not blue bulbs either, they're regular clear bulbs, BUT, the light output is practically white. When my wife pulls into the driveway, it looks like HID's from far away like on a Volvo or something. I would definitely check it out. The lights really reach further on the road too. Our Tacoma is getting a set of these sooner or later too, these are great.
