The answer to a question says they are brighter than the Sylvania bulbs. Is that compared with the Silverstar Ultra or the regular halogen headlight?

Gary, I have previously been running the SilverStar Ultra bulbs. During the changover to the NightHawk Platinum, I had a SilverStar Ultra in the right headlight, and the NightHawk Platinum in the left headlight. Since this was night time without other light sources nearby, I put the headlights on to test. In, both high and low beam, the SilverStar Ultra appeared a shade whiter and brighter than the NightHawk Platinum in my 1995 Isuzu Rodeo. Winner - SilverStar Ultra.

Definitely brighter than stock halogens. I doubt any more or less brighter than the Silverstar. I'd suggest not to use these bulbs with a projection style headlight assembly. There is a blue 'cap' on the bulb tip which resulted in a 'cut' line when the light diffused through the glass. I went back to a cheap bulb for my '11 Sonata.

assuming you have OEM bulbs, the BRIGHTNESS is the same; it's the TEMPERATURE that is different. To my eyes, I believe that they have a slightly warmer glow.

They are not blue or the bright white, about the same color as stock headlights but much brighter. Had the bright white / blue and they are good for seeing signs but don't light up the street as well as these sylvania bulbs. If you want a white light go with something else, but you wont see the road as well. Hope this helps you. If you want bright white go with HIDs, they light up everything.

Not really ... overall they are brighter but the difference when braking is not as significant as the regular bulbs

We noticed an increase in the brightness of our fixtures after we replaced the halogens with the LEDs. We had been using 20W halogen bulbs. As a result, I cannot say how well they match a 40W. The fixtures run much cooler now which is a plus.

The wattage is 55. They are white but not bright white. They are brighter than the original bulbs but not as bright as the Sylvania Sliver-star in my opinion. I will add this, that I am very pleased with the Philips Crystal Vision. They appear to last longer than the Silver-star bulbs.

The 9003 /HB2/H4/ bulbs have both the high and low beam in one bulb. The ZXE Sylvania bulbs outlast the plain old Silver stars by about 25% and I run my headlights day and night, the main thing that you must do is to wear a pair fo Nitrile (rubber surgical gloves) when you handle the bulbs, A single Fingerprint on the surface of the bulb will create a "hotspot" that will cause an premature failure of the bulb this is true for any Halogen style bulb. I usually take a microfiber towel and clean the bulbs with rubbing alcohol before I intall them. The ZXE bulbs are noticeably brighter than the Silverstar bulbs. If you can wait for a sale on them or at least a mail in rebate it all helps. The 9003 /HB2/H4/ bulbs have both the high and low beam in one bulb.

They light up much more of the road than the standard halogen bulbs. They are great!

I don't have black headlight housings but had silverstars on my Rav 4 before I changed to PIAA. PIAA bulbs were brighter and put light down the road further than the silverstars.

No idea. The sylvania web site has a chart. Do not use the chart to determine how bright they are, they misled me. The supposedly brighter bulbs were the exact same part number as original equipment. The brighter the bulb, the less life it has = burns out sooner. The real bright bulbs require inserting some kind of additional electrical device to work.

I think they are brighter, I can see a greater distance down the road frequently travel, I know they produce a white light instead of a yellow light as the OEM units did, road stripes and animal eyes show up much better. They are now in both my car and truck with the same increase in performance on both vehicles.

Don't know but they are way brighter than stock and the light they give off is much better

I have had mine for some time now and I run with headlights on a lot for added safety.Check my Comment earlier for actual date of install.I have had the Sylvania and YES they do wear out pretty quick.But they also work pretty good while they last.

I don't know, but these are the best lights I've found to replace my standard RV light. I tried two other lower priced ones and they don't even compare. Every one of these Gold Stars I bought are still working and they are much brighter. The lower priced ones fell apart and many of them stopped working within a few months of useage.

Yes, they are much brighter than the stock halogen beams on my 96 landcruiser... Once I used my dremel cutting tool to remove the cheesy KC stone guards I'm very pleased with them.. However, I have them mounted up top of my Slee Shortbus bumper and use them primarily for off road trail illumination..

Amazon and other auto part sites should tell you fit. My quick search showed 9007 to be correct. Yes, these will be brighter than your standard $10 a piece bulb. But the trade off is it won't last as long. I'd rather have the increase in light.
