Not only did the Nighthawk look brighter to me, but the light meter proved it:



This is no diss to the Silverstar Ultra or those that bought 'em. It is a very good light bulb and certainly brighter than stock (in the case of the fogs, almost double). They just aren't as bright as the GE Nighthawks and cost more to boot. Just trying to save you guys (and gals) a few bucks and get you the best light available for the price...


still an excellent write-up! thx... gonna go with that $80 hid kit for my fogs now from ebay to achieve the brightness and color that i want... but, it's good to know for the stock bulbs that the GE's are the brightest... i think i go for the blue look though more, and for now, i'm staying with my xenons...

thx again for the info... how are the GE's when compared to xenons?
