I used, and still use PIAA 3157'S!! They have a blue tinghe(sp) but are WAY WHITER than those stock OEM DRL bulbs! Too yellow!!!

The blue looks AWESOME with my HID's!!

I buy the PIAA 3157'S on eBay! I buy a bunch at a time (save on shipping) as they only seem to last 6 months or so! But YA GOTTA PAY TO PLAY!!!

Looks like the last seller I bought from is NO LONGER A RESISTERED SELLER, but here are the 3157's!! I usually look for GOOD FEEDBACK and the WILLINGNESS to COMBINE SHIPPING COSTS!!

Ultras are brighter and the originals burn out too fast

Mark, don't know if they make the Ultras in other sizes seems like they would though. If you got the part # of the bulb you want to change see if Sylvania has it on their website, I think there is a cross reference form there or at least on some other resellers websites. I remember seeing one when I was poking around for mine.

Thanks Calgary, I agree he has really put in the detailed work and it looks incredible.
Humm, I went to your "cardomain" site and noticed you did not put on the rear bumper lighting,
just curious why not...I figured it just did not complete the look you were going for.

I Will be the ginny-pig for you on this one. I think it is a great overall look on the vehicle and will
more than likely try to get that done this week too if possible, So I will let you know the complexity of it

The Silverstar Ultras are very poor. Only very marginally whiter (hard to even notice the difference), and no brighter than the 9007 OEMs on a 2006 H2. Did a lot of tests on them. They suck! Just a marketing gimick. HID is the way to go. You want to play, you gotta pay.....

REALLY??? Cause before I installed HID's, the "normal" Silverstars were WAY Whiter than my OEM bulbs(very yellowy)!! Maybe there are different OEM bulbs in the '06 as opposed to my '04???
