I see. 10 watts doesn't seem like it would case any harness damage either ....that is a worthy investment - it's a shame I just bought new headlight bulbs about 2 weeks ago. Silverstars too - they work good.....expensive though - think I shoulda just shelled out the extra cash for HIDs

Thanks for all the opinions... think I'm gonna go with the Sylvania Cool Blue 9005s and do the mod for the low beams. Adjusting the lights so you don't blind the other drivers seems like the hardest part to do though.......

Nope, no finger touchy for this n00b. Glad to hear yours are still working.
I do drive with the headlights on all the time and my 92 is fastAr than your 97 so that may have reduced the life some.

If your done on the lighting subject then dont reply. You saying the bulbs are crap is your opinion not factual. There are plenty of people who use them and love them.

"It took Osram-Sylvania, Philips, and other major-name bulb makers quite a bit of research and development to produce blue filters that would not drop the bulb output below the legal minimum while still altering the appearance of the operating headlamp enough to appeal to consumers after a "whiter" appearance to their headlamps........ There's no conclusive evidence that the type of light produced by this sort of bulb actually allows drivers to see better than the type of light produced by a regular, clear bulb. And there've been no studies on the effect of this type of light upon seeing and glare in bad weather, for instance. Can you see better with this sort of bulb? Perhaps, and perhaps not. Some people seem to think so. But what if that's exactly the problem — they think they can see better than they actually can?" are they worse that regular bulbs? no. blue-coated ebay crap may be, but Silverstars have some technology behind them. are they "better"? probably not. i happen to like the way they look on the car and the road. so i spent an extra $20 to get bulbs i'm happy with - i think my wallet will survive this massive expenditure..

The question I ask you though Thawa is "Have you ever tried them or just went with what is on this page?" I installed them on my wife's Outback, and they are infinatly better the stock bulbs, Have (so far) lasted over a year without a problem and IMHO worth the money I spent on them. Are the better bulbs out there?? Probably, but Im satisfied with them and would buy them again.

I was bored today so...
I bought some 9005 Cool Blue's ($10 a piece), did the mod, and installed them. I have to say, it was $20 well spent. They're defiantly brighter and it's nice and white. I can't compare them to the silverstars, which were $37 for a pair, but I'm happy with what I got.
