So i got this itch to throw away money. I decided i wanted to upgrade headlights. I wanted the lights to look whiter when looking at the car, but also have a good light output as i do quite some backcountry driving.

First off i picked up a set of GE Nighthawks 9006 at walmart for about $28 (for two bulbs). I installed the right side bulb and left the stock left side to compare. Light output was slightly better, but no change of tint (equal to stock). I returned them and bought a set of silverstars for about $38 dollars. Again installed one of them. Right off the bat the color was whiter, it matched my alpinaweiss nicely, by no means was it a blue tint or a cheap look. light output was comparable to nighthawks only a tad whiter (the eye is more sensitive to blue-er light). in the end i decided to return the silverstars and just keep my stock bulbs. I could not justify the near $40 for marginal increase in output performance and it was too much to just spend on the whiter look.


but now when people search lights, here is a comparison.

i took piuctures of the silverstars to show the difference but the camera did not pick up on it
