High performance lights?
Has anybody ever heard of OSRAM Night Breaker? I know its pretty much the same company as sylvania, but does anybody know how they compare to silverstar ultra? They look like they have a different design. any input?
P.S. Please don't say to just go get HID, i'm not gonna spend that amount of money right now.

its not worth half assing it in the begining to waste your money and upgrade to HIDs afterwards because your not happy with it.

not to sound mad at you, just sayin

just drive around with your highbeams on then, i dont see the point of spending $60 on replacement headlight when you could save up another $150 and get a HID kit, which you plan on getting somewhere down the road anyway.

FYI, you can get a set of hids for $150 new. http://www.xenonexpert.com I purchased a set of there HID's for my old 2005 Mazda 3 sedan, and they are now rocking out in my '02 Alero, with different bulbs of course, as H7 bulbs wouldn't exactly work well in an Alero, haha.

Silverstars are good, and I believe there are some called Night Hawks or something that are supposed to be good as well. I also know that HID kits are dirt cheap now....as a matter of fact, here is a set on ebay for $145.(100+45 shipping)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HID-X...spagenameZWDVW
HIDs are well worth the money...I had mine in my alero, now in my Lincoln LS since they were both 9006 and I will never drive another car w/o them....ever.

I hear HIDs are nice and they look nice... I just wouldn't want them in regular headlights... Projectors would be awesome though!
