Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was torn between the Nighthawk bulbs and the Sylvania 9006SU SilverStar Ultra, Twin Pack. After reading some negative reviews about the lifespan of SilverStars, I opted to go with these.
Initially, I was worried about how blue these would look, versus the regular Nighthawk bulbs, but I was happy to find that there's really not much of a blue tint in the light at all.
The light is very bright and very white. I wouldn't put them against an HID system, but you can absolutely see a difference. Driving at night took a little getting used to, as the beam pattern doesn't seem to bleed the same way my stock headlights did.
Another concern I had was that oncoming traffic would be blinded by the extra light output. However, this hasn't been a problem. And, again, from a distance these lights look pure white, rather than blue.
December 2009 Update: Well, after just under a year and two months, a bulb died on me. Just outside of the 1-year warranty, no less. Since I'm just outside of the warranty, I decided to order the SilverStar Ultras.
In the meantime, I had saved the OEM bulbs when I put the Nighthawks on, and am pretty surprised to see the side-by-side difference. The throw and clarity on the Nighthawks really is excellent. It's a shame they don't seem to last very long.
February 2011 Update: Not so much an update as a tip: apparently, the SilverStar Ultras last just as long, and cost more. So, I'm going back to these bulbs.
