I bought some Sylvania Silverstars and fortunately only opened one package to try them out. I returned another un-opened package. I was grossly disappointed. The light is whitter, but only barely so compared to standard Sylvania/Osram bulbs I had. I've got the Silverstars in my fog lights now, which are a little yellow any way (yellow plastic inside housing).

"Gary in BR" sent me some blue H7 halogen bulbs that I put in as my high beams. They are much more white/blue than the Silverstars and have that "cooler" look I think you want. Unfortunately I can't tell you what brand they are as they're not marked. They look MUCH nicer with my litronics though.

Based on my limited experience I would go for some of the blue coated bulbs, but just make sure they're rated for 55W or no more than 65W. The ones Gary sent me are rated for 55W.

The bulbs are Hoen's

They are very good lights and come highly rated.

BTW,
Glad you liked them.

Gary

Growing up the car magazines said how amazing Porsches are. Was I brainwashed? Somehow...I doubt it.
