Silverstars or wanna-be hid conversion
Alright should I go with a set of silverstars or with these from ebay? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=7946854397
The ones on ebay would only be $10 or so more.
My friend has silverstars and I'm pretty pleased with them however the ebay ones sound alright too.

Wow, aligning the headlights and cleaning the connections up sure does make a difference too.

Be careful of some of those conversions that advertise 100/80 W that will work in an OEM 55/60W system - They will not. All of a sudden when the higher wattage overheats the system the lights go out, most likely on a dark and narrow road. Or they start to flash on and off because of overheating the system. Stick with 55/60W H4's and they will work, plug and play. Cocacolakidd

Those eBay ones aren't HIDs. Just blue painted regular bulbs. Get the silverstars. I haven't had experience but all I hear is good stuff. Those painted blue bulbs prevent some light from coming out. Sure it looks white/blue, but it is actually dimmer than a comparitive bulb.

looking at what this guy says I wouldn't trust him or his product
to many things that dont fit well
"100/80w High Wattage light output with only a standard Watt current draw."
wattage = volts x amps
so since a car batt with the alt going lets say puts out 14v
so a 55watt bulb is goin to draw 3.92 amps of current
so a 80watt bulb as he says would draw the same amount of current?
lets see at 14volts I get 5.71amps of current flowing
difference of 1.8 amps
doesn't quite sound the same to me

I've got silverstars in my TA and they are great. I just went for the plain silverstars, not their blue light or XD ones or whatever they call them.
