while your getting the bulbs go to suvlights.com and order new wiring for the bulbs. the wiring kits from this website allow more power directly to the bulbs. and they sell osram silverstar. also some hid stuff if i can find a pic off the tcca ill show you the diff between with the new wires and w/o

Well, I'm sure you are right about the fact that new wiring would increase power...but I think people that buy halogen bulbs only want something better than factory at a low cost...so 103$ (wich is approx 130$ can with taxes here ) is not an option for me...I'd rather go with HID at this price.

And suvlights.com does'nt sell Osram silverstar...they sell Osram-Sylvania Silverstar...the blueish american version of the clear european Osram Silverstar, but that has already been explained before on this tread.

just because silvania silverstar is on the front instead of the osrams doesn't mean they're not there.

I received and installed my H4 Osram Silverstar today...I'll try to post good pics soon.

Total cost: 28,65$can (tax in)...ordered from powerbulbs.co.uk..it took only 9 days to deliver...shipping was free! It would have cost me the same to buy some Sylvanias at a local store.

They even gave me a set of Philips Blue Vision W5W sidelight bulbs...don't need it but hey! it's a gift!

I give Powerbulbs 2 thumbs up

So far I'm happy with the results...the light it produce is whiter than factory bulbs.

I should receive my silver turn signals next week...then I'll be done with the headlights

Well you quoted the wrong person, but Ill answer anyway.

I deal with a company out in Cali., that I have actually tested quite a bit of product for over the last 8 months. If you are looking for the cheapo $150 eBay HIDs that will look great, and 6 months from now burn up, your getting taken for your hard earned money.

My buddy has been back and forth to Japan just to check out the manufacturing of different HID and ballast companies, just to improve on what they can sell to their clients. Needless to say, there is ALOT of junk out there.

Now I cant speak on behalf of any real technical numbers or figures, but I can say first hand, the kits I have tested have been awesome!
It is all truly "plug n play." You would be surprised at all the hack jobs some kits require you to do. For those reading this, that know anything about HID and HID systems, you can relate. Surely, you know that not all companies even use the same gasses inside their HID bulbs, which makes a HUGE difference in what color a 6000k, 6500k, 8000k, etc., etc., really is. To make a general statement that all XXXXk bulbs are XXXX color, is dependent on the manufacturer.

The kit that is in my Yaris right now, is only a single H4 6500k Kit (Nuxen), not a high/low H4 kit.
Now, they market these as 6500k, but I have tested their 6000k and 6500k in my '06 Armada, and the only difference is a slightly "purplish" hint of color on startup. You can see from the pictures I will post below, they light up the road great, but it is your responsibility to AIM THEM CORRECTLY if needed!
I made a few 2 second adjustments, and the height is fine. Cutoff is still VERY good for a non-xenon equipped headlight housing.

I could go on, but who wants to listen to me babble all night..

Kits they are selling mainly now, are EagleEye brand, single H4 or high/low H4, plus all the other non-Yaris related fittments.
They retail for $400.00, but right now he's doing a GB for a LOT less!
They still have a few single H4 Nuxen kits like what I have in the Yaris, for even less.

I keep meaning to do post a review on my HIDs, and their new line of LED replacement lighting products... the LEDs are like nothing you have seen before! When "ON", they are almost as bright as my HIDs!

More later if needed..
