Not for an inferior bulb. At Wal-Wart, I'd expect that both XtraVisions and NightHawks would be about half that. At any other store, they're still about 2-3rds of that for two, and still a better deal.
I did, by pointing you to Daniel Stern. He's the automotive lighting expert around here. All the explanations you need are on his website, and all are backed by sound scientific principals.
If you want a photometric chart showing how bad the SilverStars are, I'll bet he knows where to find it.
There really isn't; it's just an optical illusion.
I point you again to Daniel's website:
Doesn't change the fact that, in order to compensate for decreased light output, they have a shorter average lifespan than other non-blue bulbs.
No, it really isn't. It is physically impossible for a bulb with a blue coating to produce anything near "perfectly white" light.
Sure, you noticed a color difference. Doesn't mean you could see any better.
Except that you actually can't "see more better and frighter."
Armor All bad urban myth or trueMy mom got back from the Ford dealer and the mechanic there chastized my mom for using Armor All on the inside of her truck. Now...

What does that have to do with you buying an inferior set of bulbs against better advice?
Now you're just being willfully ignorant. It has become clear that, despite my efforts, I can't help you with that.
Armor All and your stangpatrick OK, if you want a detailed chemical explanation, here goes. Soft vinyl plastics (as opposed to things like PVC pipe) contain a large amount of plasticizers. The one...
