How bright are they compared to the silverstars or silverstar ultras?!

The ultras are definitely brighter than the OEMs by a lot, bit these are like, a noticeable brighter than even the ultras. They are also whiter with a hint of blue, the ultras we're a bit yellower.

Good to know. I've always ran SS's but bought SSU's this last time and they are significantly more yellow than the regular SS's. debating on returning them...

You did miss something. I got them for half price. 30 bucks. Win.

Also, all things considered, HID's require a bit of work, whereas these took all of 5 minutes to install. I'm pro HID's believe me, and they're on my list of to do's, but for a quick, cheap upgrade, it was well worth the price.

I need to repaint my front emblem. It's pitted and looks bad with little white dots in the black paint. Might go gloss instead of flat this time.

Need a new ballast for one of my fogs. I'll order that this week. I'd like to put new lenses in. I'm not sure how expensive they are. Have to look it up.
