PSSST those are for nubs....
Any bulb that achieves a "Whiter light" via a coating is also loosing lumens....
testing shows that sylvania silverstars lose 15% and Ultras lose 20% of their lumens... thats 20% LESS light than your standard halogen!!!! and 40% less than what they claim ahahahaha
Advertising and marketing can be tricky
the other thing you could have done was get HIRs or 9011/9012 bulbs to replace your 9005/9006 bulbs respectively and get 2000+ lumens! almost what HIDs offer!!!
not to mention the 9012 bulb lasts 2x the hours of the longest lasting 9006 on the market! they are still halogen and use the same wattage but harness an Infrared technology (reflects IR back at the filament) and it burns brighter and lasts longer!!!!
its slightly whiter light but not "White (having a blueish hint)"
at 25 bux a bulb and a little tab to dremel off to fit perfectly in the whole.... they are welll worth the money
