My opinion on the Sylvania Silverstar Ultras is the same as my opinion of the Sylvania Silverstars- they're a cosmetic "wannbe HID" bulb like all other superwhite, blue, purple, etc bulbs, but probably the best of the bunch. The coating to tint the light really kills the output, and having to burn so bright to get enough light output through the coatings really kills the bulb life. Simple use of a light meter has shown that standard halogen headlamp bulbs put more light on the road than ANY tinted bulb. The Sylvania XtraVision or Philips Hi-Visibility bulbs are about the best domestic bulb you can get in terms of light on the road. Too bad Sylvania is still marketing the Silverstar line as the "safest" choice in the product lineup.
