i saw those, i wasnt thinking they would end up looking that nice, but i thought maybe a little whiter at least. r hids the only way to make em whiter/bluer

For the most part you'll need to run HID's to get this effect. Although I bought some really expensive bulbs years ago that made things a little whiter. Looking back, HID's would've be the better route to go as I doubt I'll be able to find the bulbs again once one burns out.

What year is your car? Silverstars work well on both 1g and 2g but the only way to get a BRIGHT white loght is with true HID's.
