I installed new Silverstars (9003s & 9006s) 2 days ago and had no problems whatsoever. You don't have to remove the battery when installing the drivers side bulb. However, it does help if you unbolt the hold-down clamp which secures the battery and move it to the side. One bit of advice - when installing the drivers side bulb take out the old bulb and practice putting it in several times so you know what technique works best. It's pretty easy.
The Silverstars definitely provide more illumination. I installed one Silverstar (passenger side) to see the difference from the OEM Sylvania. I also live in a forested area which provides a good means of measuring difference. The Silverstar illuminated roughly 20-30 more feet than the OEM Sylvania and peripheral illumination was also increased. Not to mention they have a very clean and sharp look.
I definitely recommend these bulbs for anyone looking to upgrade to a high performance halogen or for those whom aren't satisfied with the yellow look of the OEM Sylvanias. They are not "cheap" aftermarket bulbs like some have said. They are of high quality and an excellent alternative to HID.
