The silverstar ST is just the regular Silver star 9006 bulb. Unless his question meant the retrofitted fog?

I have some on my home PC - will post them this evening. The Silverstars are a much whiter light than stock, and you can see things with a lot less strain on your eyes at night.

I have heard that PIAA xtreme white bulbs were way brighter then silverstars. Is that true?

oh yeah, H4 bulbs are the bulbs for the headlights right?

yeah h4 is headlights 9006 is fogs. PIAA does look brighter than silverstars but it didnt last as long for me. PIAA is expensive bro. If you have the money, buy HIDs from Mark (kwazyazn), 2 blown sets of PIAA's = same price as HID. If not , i'd get silverstars for now for visiblity, if you want it to look better get PIAA, its the closest to the HID "look".

I think the Gen 1.5 has different bulb sizes because there are two bulbs in the headlights compared with the Gen 1 Solara.....fogs might also be different sizes..........not sure but something to keep in mind.
