I bought a pair of Philips CrystalVision Ultras to replace the stock H11 low beams. They put out a lot whiter and cleaner light than the stock halogens, and give a little more distance and side-to-side view on the road. I haven't done anything with the high beams or fog lights yet. Only question now is how long these bulbs will last.

I tried taking some photos with one stock and one CrystalVision Ultra installed, but most of them didn't come out very good (either I suck or my camera sucks at taking night shots). The stock bulb is on the left, and the new one on the right in the photos.

 

Looks very nice, much better bulb. You can bet on them lasting a year, and be happy if they last longer.

 

How easy is it to fix the adjuster when it breaks?

 

Ditto! I have no problems seeing (and they look pure white where stock bulbs have a bit of an amber tint to them). Just wipe them down good with rubbing alcohol then hold them through the paper towel when you install them and wipe them one more time once installed.

In the summer I work for a community theatre group doing lights and all the stage lights are halogen like the Silverstar Ultras so I learned this quickly when I touched one before installing it in the stage lamp and the damn thing blew up on me.

 

Get HIDs, honestly I can barely see the road now when I switch back to a car with regular headlights. COnsidering a pair of silverstars are an overpriced $30 a pair, when you can get hids and the ballasts for $35.
