well, i put one in and left the US spec silverstar in the other headlight and pulled up to a white garage door, the euro version is about the same brightness, but is more yellow than the US silverstar, if you guys want i could take pics, but i think that i could see things better than the US version, so, the final decision is that i like the euro silverstar better than the US version, but the US version looked more "whitish/blue" than the euro version which looks more like a standard headlight

I dont know about the silverstars, but my favs are the Hella Optilux Extreme XP bulbs, they are xenon. I had them in my civic, but pulled them when i sold the civic, and put normal bulbs in, cuz i liked them so much. They appear brighter, and ALOT whiter than stock bulbs. When i say white, i mean WHITE. They probably are not any brighter, but just the way that the human eye interprets the light because of the color, it appears brighter. They are sittin here in my room, i need to get the hella conversions for the H4 bulbs from sealed beam to use them on the truck. But they were $16.89 a piece, so $33.78 subtotal, and shipping was $6.50, so they were $40.28 to my door. And that is from www.rallylights.com which is Hella's online store. (Susquehanna Motorsports) Anyways, just my 2c.
