Hyperwhites are def. not rice. IMO yellow looks gay, I am almost embarissed to turn on my lights at night because I take pride in my car and my yellow lights just dont do it....

I dont see how they could be considered gay. THey are headlight bulbs. people arent posing for having HIDS, they are trying to light up the road better. How is that rice? I suppose getting more treaded tires is rice, even though youre trying to handle better in the rain. Putting a turbo on your engine is rice, youre trying to go fast. putting in brighter headlights is rice, youre trying to see. It all makes sense now. To avoid being rice, we must stop trying to do anything. In fact, no more tops on our cars anymore, we're trying to look like a sports coupe!

Silvania Silverstars are better than stock bulbs. I can see much better at night. The cheap "hyperwhite" bulbs are crap, and I hate that blue tint that most give off. The silverstars are nice and white, definetely not rice IMO.

Yes, I agree then. I think the blue ones are very rice. Very fake HID, and they dont even look HID. Sorry, I was wrong. I thought when the original post person said hyper-whites I thought he meant those really bright white bulbs, like sylvanias, or other bright white ones, I didnt know we were referring to the blue tint or bright blue ones. I agree those are rice because they obviously only hurt sight. Blue light is not as strong as white light obviously.

there are a bunch of people around here with one blue and one stock yellow because the pos from walmart burnt out and the were too cheap/lazy to put both stock ones back or buy new blue ones.....i point and laugh at them :7

I agree, the Sylvania's are alot better than stock and the crisp white light does help you see better than the stock or the cheap ones.

I like to know where you found PIAA'a for $40! I think that they are cool, but HID's are definitely the shit!

HID's are the shit. I wish that I still had mine.

I have Kuzo's


And as for whoever said they can see better with their $5 yellow factories is blind in the first place. Maybe your experience with certain lights isn't the best, but the difference in my factory lights and my Kuzo's is incredible.

And I've had them for 2 years, going on three. They were originally in my 2000 Sonoma and when I traded it for this car I just traded them over. Yes, I did drive around with the stocks in for a couple weeks (i went back to the dealership to get my lights)

You couldn't pay me to go back to factory. I want to get the Sylvania (spelling?) lights but I'm a little strapped right now.
