Hi Y'all,

After converting the low beams and the front fogs to 5000K HID bulbs 
in my urS6 the ordinary OEM high beams are now looking awfully 
yellow.  The cosmetics of it are bothering me.  The "obvious" 
solution is to do the high beams in HID as well except for the 
delayed turn-on of the HID lights.  So...

In spite of my natural skepticism I have been seeing ads for those 
Sylvania SilverStar bulbs which look (in the ads) to be closer in 
look to my HIDs than the OEM lights.  Does anyone have any BTDTs with 
these lights?  Are they actually brighter than OEM bulbs?  What does 
the color temperature look like compared to HID lights?  Would I just 
end up throwing my money away if I were to try the SilverStar bulbs?

Bob
