no that dosent make sense since you would be able to use the projector 100% without any problems. From what brett is saying I would be driving blind if I would to just swap HID's in.

Something like that. The light emitting surface in each type of bulb has a different shape, so you need to focus is differently to put the light where it needs to go.

Yea.... that's what I said too :thumbsup:

All joking aside, has anyone upgraded to SiverStar Bulbs? It made a big difference on my old Honda Fit.

The lame output was obvious to me when i saw the car in Arcadia a few months ago. It was clearly inferior to the projectors in my Camry. It doesn't help that the car is so low.

No offense but the SilverStars are way outdated. There are much better options out there now. There's a whole new class of +90 bulbs like the Philips X-treme Power, Osram Night Breaker, GE Nighthawk Platinum, or PIAA Night-Tech.

But nothing comes close to HID's. One of my requirements for a new car was HID's. I'm holding off until Scion either starts including them or there is an affordable way to swap the headlamps out with the 86.

I'm running SilverStar Ultras. There was a noticeable difference from stock. I'm still swapping projectors though because the optics on the stock ones are garbage.

you're not buying just bulbs and ballast here for $100

you're buying the whole b-xenon projectors

FR-S lights are not nearly as good as the HIDs on my GTI.
