Installed Sylvania Silverstar Ultras 9005 for DRL / Hi Beam
Well, with some time to kill today and a desire to tweak the car some more, I found a set of Sylvania Silverstar Ultras on sale for $33 at the local auto parts place, and I coupled that with a $10 mfg. rebate - so for $23 to try them out, I said sure.
I was hoping that I might be able to get a daytime "white look" from the lights as opposed to current yellowish hue I have, but after they were installed, the fact that they run on such low power really makes the light output still yellow. No white look at all. Thought I'd post this here for any who may be thinking about trying them out.
Now, that said, they are a nice light and the high beam output is much better than the OEM bulbs. I may try to take some pics later on to show you, but their use as high beams is worth the upgrade IMO.

That's what i had originally upgraded to as well.. then i found HIR bulbs.. no fancy white color, which ya really don't want with the high beams anyway since the whole purpose is to really light up the road and the higher K light does just the opposite. I bought them from someone on ebay recommended to me from a porsche forum. they still sell them..
