This is such a rediculous claim that I am not even sure how to respond to it.

Silverstars are known to be the best option in the headlights for those of us who don't want to run around looking like either a Japanse rice mobile or a wanna be high end car.

Whatever.

I agree, Silverstars are the best option for headlights besides retrofit HIDs, but not for reverse lights.

I know i'm just a noob, but its 2011, not 2000, HID's are not just for high end cars anymore, they are a dime a dozen. And it has nothing to do with a rice mobile either. The lightout put is WAY better, visability is greatly increased, to me thats just prefering better performance out of your lighting.

Now obviously, if your running a 10k or higher kit, the light output sucks, and thats pointless, but there is nothing wrong with a nice 6k kit thats just a bright, pure white look

As for the silverstars, yea, they are good bulbs, I would never contest that. But the whole point of LED's is they use less power, AND are brighter...I know my reverse LED's are brighter then ANY regular 3157 bulb I have ever seen.

Point being that very few people who switch to HIDs actually do it the right way. Most people just slap a bulb and ballast in the stock housing and say they have HIDs. I laugh at the guys who ride around town like this thinking they are something special. It just screams ricer in my book.

I'm still waiting, too. Originally they expected the back-orders to ship out on the 13th, now it's the 17th. I'm not mad, but a little irritated that they keep pushing back the ship date.

I'm in no rush either. I placed my order on Tuesday and got my 194's yesterday. My one license plate light is out so I needed the 194's the most. I think it will be worth the wait on the interior kit!!!

I got pulled over this summer for "hovering over the white line" running down the road. He complemented my license plate bulbs (upgraded to LED's), he said my license plate was one of the easiest to read he had seen in a long time haha.

See, you made it too easy for him to pull you over.

is there a such thing as too bright of tail lights?

ok so i have all the front and inside done with leds and want to start the back. my question is if too bright of an led bulb will make the tail light look bad. i searched on the site but didnt find anything. should i get a white or red bulb for the brake light/turn signal? will a white bulb discolor the lense? looking at a 42, 60, or 68 smd led bulb. same thing for the reverse lights. i am planning on tinting the tail lights with nightshades but dont want to buy bulbs twice. and one last question, will a 3057/3157 work if i need 4057 for the tail light bulb? thanks for the help in advance!
