Replaced OEM with these a couple of months ago. Spent $38/pair at Walmart. At first, I replaced only one to see the difference -- it was a big difference in color. The light was much whiter, but output seem comparable to OEM. Additionally, at night the comparable to OEM output seems most evident (you can't see any better, just whiter light).
I have my DRL's off, so hopefully they'll last a while. I'm curious about the Phillip's Xtravision's talked about here. Sounds like they may put out more light AND look whiter. I'd like more light output than the Silverstars gave me, so I'd recommend to anyone looking for bulbs to try the Philips Xtravision's since the Sylvania's have such a bad rep for lifespan AND have comparable light output to the OEM's. And they apparently are cheeper than the Silverstar's via the web!
