Well I won't toss them just yet but they will be collecting dust soon once I install my J-Spec lights. Just bought some very interesting J-Spec bulbs for them in Toronto yesterday. IPF XX Super Low Beam (H4 Zenon bulb)

Should make for some much improved lighting, that is until the projector issues become a realization.

Yeah I agree that they are good bulbs but they are a bit expensive.

It's a huge diffrence compared to the stock bulbs. I love the superwhite tint of blue they have. It's even better if your lenses are polished.

I picked them up at canadian tire like 5 months ago and one of blew recently. I really didn't want to fork out another $45 dollars for the pair but I had no choice unless I wanted 2 diffrent bulbs in there. They are great bulbs thought and I agree with roached that if you are in the market, give them a shot :P

I went to look into them last year and the guy at the shop (Automotive Warehouse) recommended the Eurolite bulbs. A few months ago my best friend decided to give them ai try in his Festiva and i couldnt belive how much they were lighing up the road. Afterwards a headlight went out in the 626(my winter beater) so i picked them up and couldnt believe the difference. Great value for C$19.99+tax. Now i haven't compared them to the SilverStars, i haven't seen them in action, but I'm really happy and putting the Eurolite ones in the Mx-3, that's forsure.

I also have the SilverStars, much brighter than stock. Already had to replace one. It lasted a little less than a year.
