RE: head light bulbs?
FYI...the aftermarket bulbs that run brighter, tend not to last as long as OEM!! So If your willing to buy bulbs more ofter, get the silverstars or piaas...both are much brighter than stock!!

Over on the BMW message board, there was a long thread aboutheadlight bulbs. Someone posted a study that showed Sylvania Silverstars are brighter than stock but don't last as long.

I just put a Silverstar in mine a couple weeks ago. It definitely makes a difference. Being that it was onlyabout $20 and I could get it from the auto parts store down the street, I'd say it was definitely worth it. I guess it depends on how much you want to spend. PIAAs are more expensive.

Worth it?Nine months or so, after I installed it, the high beam died. Called PIAA and the sent me a replacement at N/C whatsoever.

RE: head light bulbs?
Nice thing about them is availability. When do lights burn out? Well, normally at night (Murphy), and/or when it's raining(wet), but mostly, when you need to go somewhere. WHy I don't change to the grey color or clear lenses and colored lamps. Where do you find those on Saturday night?
Car bulbs are not as much of a problem.
