[s-cars] headlight bulbs

I second the HIRs.  There was a GB many moons ago through Daniel Stern Lighting http://www.danielsternlighting.com/  He has some good info on his site and was very responsive to questions.

Bob,
Have you ever tried the Toshiba HIR 9011 bulbs in the high beams(
ww.powerbulbs.com) ?  Seriously stupid amounts of well placed light,
owever, the color temp is probably not up to your cosmetic needs. Any
ncandescents that have a color temp remotely close to 5K K are probably all
inted, since an incandescent glow that'll last is really just not all that
ot. End result is less light, and less time to react to Bambi.

 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
