Lol. It wasn't a debate. We both say the same thing, just I was showing how it worked on a few of my old cars and that is to say poorly. Even with projectors they are not that good really..

We definately both agree it's Full Litronic or nothing however. So really not much of a debate.

hey folks - I actually threw in a set of sylvania silverstars last night and initially not so sure that I see a remarkable difference, which at least suggests that the OEM halogens are pretty white - however, I didn't really drive the car that much after dark last night, so the real difference may be noted on my next night time cruise.

Thanks for all the comments, etc.

I hope you like the SilverStars. Keep in mind, "remarkable" will not describe the difference. I think socratic said 10 or 20% better/brighter. 10% sounds almost right to me based on a similarly uber-scientific method (eye-balling + placebo effect).
