I just had a bad experience with Silverstars. Oddly enough the H7's and H1's in my Benz are wonderful. I was driving my Corsica the other night (my benz was hit by a college girl and the rental bonneville is falling appart) when the right low beem blew. Decided to upgrade from the cool blues to silverstars (I replace all my lights in pairs). Four 9006 bulbs later I was returning them for cool blues. I showed the clerk the light color and it almost floored him. It was dim, very dim and very blue. As it turns out these Silverstars had more blue tint than the H4, H4, 9007 and some others that were on the shelf; even more than the cool blues. I was very disappointed. Sylvania must have some quality control issues[:(].
