I like my Silverstars as well. Bought headlights and fogs to match, I'm a little ocd like that with things matching. Light is much whiter as opposed to the yellowish look of stock. Cost is good as well. I just can't justify $500+ for headlights when I have other mods on the wishlist.

It's not so much that's wrong with the Silverstars, rather than what's more right with the Phillip's. There have been numerous posts by Hilldweller along these lines. I'm going by his expertise. A search should give you more info. However, if you like them and they seem like a good value, then they are working for you. I just have read on many occasions from individuals that have expertise in this area on different forums to convince me that there are probably better choices.

Gen 2 Truck-Lite LED headlights. Part #27270c
Brighter than IPF'S headlights with the IPF halogen bulbs that are way brighter than Silverstars. Fact.
